Around here if you waited til morning to look for a deer all you would find would be a half eaten deer.

Bow hunters lose many here, and elk too. Have tracked up a lot of wounded deer for folks: If the deer is not recovered the evening that it is shot, there is about a 75 percent chance that the coyotes will get it. Sometimes the hogs beat the coyotes to the carcass. i will sometimes set up on a deer carcass and zap some coyotes as they come in.

There are some abnormally large coyotes at our place in south central OK. Some easliy go 75 pounds. Some folks claim that those large coyotes have red wolf blood. Methinks they may be coydogs.
