Well we know from all the studies, that coyotes, lions, bears, road kill, and hunters have no impact on the deer herds. I was wondering if there was a study on the rabbits, it must be the rabbits I seen a deer with a rabbit in its mouth once, it must have been a brutal fight but the deer obviously won, but is it always the case that they win, maybe sometimes the rabbits win, come to think of it it was a adult doe that ate the rabbit, but maybe the rabbits kill fawns and the doe was just protecting its fawn.

What do you guys think?
 
Actually yes you are right, rabbits can affect deer herds. There is a lacking of rabbits in the state right now, so bobcats that typically could feed on those have to move on to other animals. This includes dead deer that lion and coyotes have killed. now you get a few rabbits and eagles, or magpies eating on this dead deer, it makes it so the coyotes bears and lions have to kill another deer. So yes you are exactly right rabbits do affect the deer herd!

I think it's too many turtles!!


Government doesn't fix anything and has spent trillions proving it!!!
Let's face it...After Monday and Tuesday, even the calender says WTF!
 
7 billion humans are changing the natural world, don't get too upset though, its not nearly as bad here as it is in most places in the world. Exotic plants, climate change,and big parts of the natural balance between all the animal species are way out of whack. Sorry but thats the way it is,and try as we might nothing is going to make the deer herds look like they were 50 years ago.

Don't forget gophers. Thousands of deer break their legs every year stepping in gopher holes. It slows them down enough that rabbits can catch them.

STTM those Utah lynks to a number, and so do the utah leapords and jaguars. But I do think sasquatch has an effect on mule deer. Maybe its the ducks.
