to each his own , all i was saying was that i would pick another spot rather than close to the dead dear

This is most ignorant post that I have seen in quite awhile.
I have a specific area where I dump my carcasses, and I see deer in the area every time I go through it. Deer and coyotes cohabit the same areas 365 days a year and having them eating on a deer carcass shouldn't adversely effect your hunting at all. I wouldn't hunt right over the carcasses, but with 40 acres, you have plenty of land to hunt.

To be quite honest , you might as well kiss this years season there goodbye , you might see the ocasional deer here and there , but the deer will smell the death in the woods , as well as all the coyote smell being in there and won't want to be in there.

I actually put a deer carcass in front of my trail camera earlier this year just to see what would happen.
Check the time stamps on these pictures.
I should have staked the deer down because it was gone without a trace in less than a week. It actually looked like that other deer was sniffing around where the dead deer had been just a couple days after it disappeared.

RE: dead deer question.....eh.
Thanks for all of your imput you guys, it really makes me appreciate these fourms.
I did a little Sunday scouting today (no Sunday hunting in NC) and as I walked out of the woods up where the deer are I found more deer sign than on any other part of the lot.
the stand closest to the deer is the only one I have not touched since bow season and I believe the hunting pressure may have pushed all the deer into that area.
and I found another thing i would have never expected. a fresh rub and scrape. with a rather big track in the middle of it. didn't have much to compare it to but two quarters and it was about three or so in length.
I think there might just be a good size buck hidding out in that neck of the woods.
