Dead Deer Drama

Cattle Baron was buzzing about in his helicopter checking on his steers, and he noticed this dead buck on a heap of pipe on a McGill Bros. drill pad where a well had recently been plugged. Assuming that foul play was involved, Game Warden Royce Ilse was quickly dispatched to the scene. He did a field autopsy and determined that the buck was NOT the victim of poachers, but had been chased and killed by coyotes - Ilse theorized that the deer appeared to have tried to go under the pipe as if it was a fence because some of the pipes were overhanging and forming a sort of ledge. It appears the deer came up from under and got his legs tangled in the pipe. And, then the coyotes killed it. It was clear to Ilse that the cause of death was by coyote. Obviously, I was not on the scene because I would have much better photos and videos than this!
