Found a dead buck along the driveway, pretty much cleaned up, coyote, raven, magpie, eagle joint venture, no signs of broken bones but a full rumen of COB. If you must put it out use tiny amounts. A full gut of COB on early spring rations = death.

You suspect the buck died from trail camera bait? Or people leaving food out for their livestock? I'm just trying to understand your post, thanks.

this does not mean it died from COB...coulda been a predator, injured or sick

Found along a driveway, which I assume is near a road? Could it have been hit by a car? :dunno:

Was not much left for good diagnosis. all are possible, no bone trauma, probably not a car. Appeared to have died in his bed a few hundred yards from the highway. A belly full of grain this time of year is a good chance of acidosis. I suspect good intentioned people 'helping' the hungry deer.
New growth on antlers showing this week. I know, where are the pictures.
