We have lots of hogs around here and if you live a bloody deer down long, they will eat it. I have learned the hard way not to leave them long. I will wait up to and hour to three hours on a shot I am not quite sure of and go after the deer with lights. Here is what happened to a doe I shot not long ago. She was down for only 10min.. I was in my stand, shot her, saw her fall. All I could see was her rear. I started hearing crunching sounds like a dog eating a bone. I could also see what looked like a brown figure moving around the deer so I knew it was Ok to go get her. A hog had eaten the side of her face.




I left a nice buck over night once, and came back to a bunch of blood streaks and part of a rack on the ground. They ate everything. Bones, hide, and most of the antlers.
