No wolves in that area though they want to bring some in. Zero wolf kills.
All deer mortality causes were on the pie charts including hunting. 15% and more some years were unknown cause of death. There are not many roads and they did not break out either dogs nor vehicle killed deer, but my guess is that both are very low in that study area compared to a lot of other places with more houses/farms and more high speed roads.
Lonny, the biologist said that they see more bobcats than coyotes and that they have been surprised at how few coyotes show up on their trail cameras. We knew that coyote numbers are low compared to places like eastern Washington, but I would not have guessed bobcats outnumber coyotes anywhere.
