Come on Deer handler.
It is just too easy to make a joke out of your inadequate reasonings.
You obviously are lacking in knowledge when it comes to wintering deer.
I don't mean that as an insult, other than to say, you just have not learned these things yet.

Family groups of deer winter together and will experience the same affects of weather and lack of food. Deer are not people. They will not appoint one to go search for food and report back to us.
They are reluctant to leave yarding areas, possibly because of being in an already weakened state and realizing they are vunerable to predators and also because starvation is a cunning affliction. The onset of starvation is not necessarilly painful. Anyone who has fasted, by choice or circumstance, for pro-long periods, or anyone who has experienced anorexia can attest that a "calm" feeling leads up to injurious starvation.

Why would they "not" stay together after one or two dies? They spend 24 hours a day together and rely on each other to warn of danger. Again, deer are not humans and are not spiritual nor are they repulsed by death.

For you to think that several deer, in one immediate area could, in a similar time period, suffer from injuries or lethal wounds and then "go to" andcollect in one area and die from wounds, is simply -- way, way out there.
