Hello all

Well today I went out to some public land that I have been frequenting all season. Slow cold day, so I figured Id hike back and pick up this coyote skull that I founda few weeks back.The area that I found it in contained2 turtle shells, a hawk feather,most of a coyote skeloton, and some really large leg bones and some vertibre (spelling),and2 piles of other bird feathers. All within about 30 feet. I thought it was kinda strange then but I didnt give it much thought. Well today when I went back to retrieve the coyote skull. Well right on top of the skull was a hind leg of a deer. I looked up about 10 feet and there was another, I looked behind me and I saw the rest of the carcas. What was left of it anyway. It was a deer that I had seen on thanksgiving. He has 2 points on one side and the left side was broken off.

Well what im wondering is what is going on out there? Is it coyotes? is it a pack of dogs? They had to drag the carcass up and down some really steep lake drainage areas. I have a tough time getting back into the area. I just always assumed that they would eat what they found where they found it, not drag it back to thier little home to chow down. I dont know if they brought down the deer or if someone shot it or it could have been hit by a car. could a pack of coyote bring him down. Could coyotes drag him all that way. I figure it had to be atleast 1/4 mile back to thier secret lair.

I have seen three bucks on the section I huntbut only one doe. Maybe something is eating them. I need to invest in a trail camera to find out for sure, just curious if anyone has come across this. Maybe it is normal and im the crazy one.

I found this print about two miles from the deer carcass. I havent seen any on the south section though
