Nature is amazing.......sometimes good, sometimes not so much. It's the circle of life. Thanks for showing us.

That’s something you don’t see everyday. Good day to be a bear.

Very cool!  I sent some PBS buddies to my elk spot last fall and they got to see and video a dispute between a wolf and a black bear sow and cub over a fresh elk kill.

What an incredible thing to witness firsthand! 
I read an article a number of years ago in Pennsylvania Game News magazine.  The game commission and Penn State University cooperated in a research study where they placed radio collars on a number of newborn fawns.  The study showed a larger percentage of fawn mortality was due to bear predation than from coyotes.  I think even the researchers were surprised by the findings.

Incredible!  What are the odds you'd happen to be there at that time with your camera ready?

I read once that does have 2 fawns each year: one for the deer population and one to feed the predators.  Sounds all perfectly ordered until I realize that I have 2 kids, too.

bears are incredible fawn predators. They’ll sweep an area like a bird dog until they flush one and then it’s quickly over
