hoosierhunter Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I shot her last night and elected to leave her lay which turns out was a mistake because it was a lung/liver hit and she went down in 125 yards. So the question is how many yotes did it take to clean this doe out this much by this morning??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Enough that I think we should call some coyotes come January. Have gun, will travel. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Would guess 5-6, only because I have seen as many as 6 running together at one time. Sure does not take them long. Shame to lose that meat. First deer I ever killed with the bow was a doe and I did not find her the afternoon I shot her, found her the next day and looked about like what you got left there.

Maine Hntr Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Had the same thing happen here, backed out one night only to come back to something similar. Its a tough decision but usually the right one to back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardwood_HD Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 the same thing happened to me last year on the nice 11pt i shot, just a rack of bones when i got to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swohiodave Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I heard the yotes yipping saturday for a while. I will shoot on sight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 That's pretty bad. Never had more than a few holes chewed in the back end, but I've only let a few lay overnight. Lots of nights down here you have to keep looking because of the higher temps. Sure hate to see a dinner served up to a pack of dogs for sure.

Rhino Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 A pack of yotes...we have some yotes but our biggest problem is pigs...they will tear one apart & fest on it if you let one lay overnight here. I recall a 6 point a guy shot about 10 years ago. He watched it lay down...then pigs came in caught the scent, jumped the deer and tracked it down. Next morning all we found left was the head & horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Wow, what a shame...loss of alot of meat...Better do some coyote hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've had that same thing happen before. Sure does make you mad. Hunt near that spot with your gun......those yotes will be back! I often take the remains of the deer I shoot and dump them in one spot. Then place a trail camera over it. Often yotes will find the remains within the first night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's pretty much guaranteed to happen if you leave one lay overnight around here. That stinks, man. It kills me to let one go overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Coyotes only existed in parts of my state. Today they are almost everywhere. I heard of a few guys close to where I hunt losing deer they didn't recover right away to the dogs. I have not seen any in daylight lately, but have a few on my trail cam. They will get shot at first sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobblerroller Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Around here, we can't leave a deer over night. There won't be anything left when you get to him. If you can't find him the day you shoot it, you can forget it. We shoot coyotes in the stand as well as foxes, due to the fact we got a trail cam photo of a grey fox with a fawn's head in his mouth last year.
