Mountain Lines

This year I’m seeing a lot of doe without fawns. It’s been that way for several years.
It could be due to infertility, a harsh winter or mortality due to predation. This year it correlates with a slight rise in coyote population. The Game Commission wouldn’t believe my observations. If I told the Game Commission it was raining, they’d stand there in their wet coat and ask me if I had any scientific data to back that up.
