ok guys,
I hunted all weekend with no luck[>:]. On my way out to the hard road yesterday morning I was looking down the pine rows and saw something pretty shocking. There was a dead doe fawn, probably about 40 pounds and just out of spots laying in the middle of the pine row. when i looked a little closer I saw coyotes fleeing the scene. I walked out to the deer and noticed that she was very warm(It was a cold morning) and appeared to have just been killed. she had some minor bite marks on her back legs and one scratch on her neck. From what I can tell by looking at the tracks is that one must have jumped on her back, flipped her and she either broke her back or her neck. my question is do you think she is ok to eat? I skinned her out immediately, but have never taken another animals kill before. The meat is untouched, but I don't know if there are any kinds of disease from coyotes i don't know about.
