Chris,

Cinereous Vultures are certainly are mainly scavengers, but they do hunt and are probably the best equipped Vulture for hunting, and as it appears that it is young deer being taken, it is possible that they are the culprits. There is always the chance though, that they are only cleaning up after other predators, in this case possibly two legged. It is difficult to say without seeing the carcasses.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

I thought vultures were mainly scavengers without the equipment to kill healthy animals. If that's the case something else must be killing the deer.
