I've never made any statement about any deer being opened up and finding bark and pine needles.
It's easy to see if malnutrition was a cause of death.All you have to do is brak open the femur bone.Bone marrow should be white.If it's pink or red,it means that the deer was starving to death.I have some pictures of the femurshowing red bone marrow on some deer.
You really have alot to learn about deer,the habitat and the relationship deer play with it.
i thought it was you who made that comment. someone on this forum did. it was one the pgc supporters it was. and when you checked the femur bone, did you do do an autopsy on that deer? as other injuries or diseases like maybe broken jaw or back to see was the reason was for this bone femur test out come? you do know there is more reasons for a situation than just one. it didn't have enough food so the reason it died was lack of food in the area. if one was dead from starvation as you said, there should be a whole lot of them in that area other than just one if it was truly lack of food and no other reason for death. i am sure you got pictures of these masses of dead dear in that area from no other reason than bad habitat starvation.
