RE: Coyotes got to the doe before I did..
I had something like that happen to me once. I shot a doe a few minutes before last light..i hit her a little far back so we waited til morning... we picked up the trail and found her 70yds away...only problem was that coyotes devoured her only hide and ribs left...so i didn't have the meat problem that you have....if they took meat from the front shoulder..i would think the hind quarters should be fine.
