Goes against all understanding I have of deer.

I don't believe it.

Maybe chewing grass or something, but not flesh that is long gone.

Bone, not flesh. But then there's the zombie deer too....

I’ve seen deer pawing open expended smoke grenades to get to the residual sulfur and salt mineral content.

They’re not after flesh they are after bone for the calcium and salts and trace minerals. Deer will gnaw shed antlers and box turtle shells, too.
I thought everyone knew this?

Probably trying to get some minerals from the bones.

Not flesh - most likely gnawing at the bones for the minerals.

In Africa, various antelope, as well as giraffe, nibble on bones for the minerals. I suspect it’s something deer have in common with antelope, despite their different taxonomies.

In the spring they are known to eat baby birds out of nests.
