You may be right about the coyote, but it must have been a big one or a pack of them to drag the deer. I don't think a 20-30 lb. coyote is going to drag an undressed 100+ lb. deer. I also feel if it was more than one 'yote, there would have been more damage. They would have eaten at it right where it lay. Moving the carcass definitely says BEAR to me.

if it was dragged away,its a bear, if tore apart and left,coyote..
coyote will take a deer back to den if it has little ones but usually its a fawn..

i did not know it was dragged away,if deer was adult deer,i never saw coyote drag one but i did a fawn..
