As stated, the coyotes are already there and a deer carcass seems to have no effect on thelive deer in my woods. I havebutchered a deer and shot one in the same place the next day. A carcass is cleaned up within days if not hours by all of the birds, small animals, and other critters in the woods. When I shoot a deer, I go back to my truck, leave my bow behind, and grab a backpack with a hoist, gambrel, rope, rubber gloves, and a trash bag. Where the deer lies I gut it, tie the hoist to a nearby tree with the rope, lift it, skin it, and bone it, put the meat in a trash bag, and place it in my backpack. I can skin and boneout a deer in approx 30 minutes. I have no deer carcass to get rid of and I'm not skinning out some week old, cold or frozen deer.
