How did a deer get a femur bone far enough in her mouth to get stuck? And why?

I hope they find her, but still - that's a scary thought that deer might be evolving to be omnivorous.

Where are the dart guns? I hope they can save her, and the fawn.

White-tail deer have been known to knock low nests out of trees to eat the baby birds. (As I type this there are probably 4 or 5 white-tails in my yard.)
A femur does seem a little excessive though....
