Default Darn birds

A friend of my boy was hunting in the last couple days, the Iowa antlerless rifle season. He shot a mature doe and a doe fawn. After walking back to the cabin for the four wheeler and returning (this took about an hour) he found the fawn had been mostly eaten by birds. He knew this from the tracks. The bowels were spread across the snow and there was not enough meat left to salvage. They did not touch the larger deer.

I think that it was probably bald eagles but I suppose it could have been vultures. He did not see anything.

What say you? Have any of you had anything like this happen?

What ever they were, they worked fast.
