Wow...You have definite coyote issues in your neck of the woods. Time to break out some traps or predator calls to do the deer a favor.

[cacciatore]

They can do their job for sure!!

[Friend]

Great job in cleaning up what wasn't finished.

[ti-guy]

They would'nt miss such an easy opportunity!

[Drew]

so did the coons, crows, ravens, strays, mink, on and on, just nature's clean up crew.

Nothing goes to waste.

It's them killer chick-a-dees.  Where do you think they developed their taste for suet?

Like little pirrahna with wings!

Dandy of a buck though! They sure did a number on it.  

[hayslope]

Yup, we definitely have yote issues in this neck of the woods!

Yotes ate 3/4 of a doe in less than 9 hours a couple of years ago.  I'll call a guy with a tracking dog before I leave another overnight around here.

The amazing thing is when you do see one in the daytime, the bugger looks like its starving!

You think that maybe some ole yote is running around bragging about the big buck that he pulled down all by himself  

[GingivitisKahn]

Hungry friggers - sheesh but they're efficient.

[BlacktailBowhunter]

I would still throw my tag on that buck. That is a nice buck and tell your friend congrats and way to keep looking.

Well at least they didn't gnaw on the antlers.
Good on you for recovering what you could. Since I don't eat antler soup I would have considered it a total loss except for the educational factor.

Like others have said, time to do some predator hunting!

[Mudd]

Nothing goes to waste out there. Even worms have to eat!

Nice rack!

You can be glad those vicious squirrels didn't get their teeth on it.

God bless,Mudd

Damn sorry about that.

But at least the hike back will be easier with the "lightened" load?    

[Kevin Dill]

Something just a little bit...wilder...in knowing we're not the only predators out there. I would personally be worse off without their presence.

Still, too bad about losing such a fine deer. The rack would be a little solace perhaps.

[BWD]

So much for a shoulder mount.
