Good to see that you found your deer that must have been rough not being able to find it the first day but way to stick with it and find it.

But heck the foxes where my brother stuck 2 of his does last year was eating on her udder in under an hour. He stuck his first doe she ran off But instead of getting out after 30 minutes and going and getting her we stuck around since our mission was to help lower the does numbers so in about 30 minutes after he stuck the first one another small group came in and he smoked another one. We didnt bring anymore arrows so we gave the second doe 25 minutes and then got out of the blind after a total of about an hour after shooting the first doe. So we start tracking the first doe she runs about 35-40 yards and when we come up on her we spook a grey fox off of her. When we get up to her you could see where the fox had started to eat on her udder. We could not believe how quick that sucker was. And I have also read about stories where within 3 to 4 hours of coyotes stripping a deer down to bare bones. It is crazy how fast them varmints are at finding a dead deer.
