It was hot, dry and windy in Estes Park last Wednesday, and there was definitely a distinct rotting smell by our house. Tiva had no trouble finding the source of the odor -- a dead fawn lay near the road. It was clearly a "cat" kill. Its hind quarters and internal organs (except the stomach) were gone, its legs were still attached and a partial bury spot was nearby. With masks on our faces, we set up the trail camera and hoped we'd get some action. Action we got! A family of coyotes came by several times and ate almost all the rest. We think it is a family of two adults and 3 pups. They hardly left enough for the ravens and vultures the following morning. Enjoy! Comments are closed.
