Interesting question....

I read a study recently from a Wildlife Management Area here in Texas where bobwhite quail were being decapitated while in their nests on the ground in the spring time.This was happening a lot, and the wildlife biologists were perplexed about the problem. They could not figure out what was eating the quail heads... racoons, foxes, aliens?

Sooo, they set out infrared cameras around the quail nests. Anyone want to guess what was doing it?

Whitetail does that had recently dropped their fawns. Apparently, the quail heads were extremely protein rich and the does were lacking the protein from the rest of their diet.

I'll search for a link to the article for the non-believers, and remember, this was written by a wildlife biologist. Hopefully someone else saw this and can verify the article, I can't seem to find it.

Deer may sometimes eat some strange things.
