Examination was made of the condition of red deer killed by wolves and lynxes in the Bieszczady Mountains over a period of two winters (1981/82 and 1982/83) or shot by hunters. The fat content in the bone marrow of the limbs was taken as a criterion of condition. Important differences were found in the age structure of red deer killed by wolves and lynxes.
