Need opinion on what did this
Here is a pic of a deer I got recently. Could not see this when I shot, but when my son drug it out of the brush, he said "Dad, it's cut open." Spread the front legs and found this wound with infection leaking out. My guess was coyotes but I have never seen this before.

Any of the above. I once shot a deer at dusk, and when I got to it, it had a broken off antler, and where the antler was broken at the base, the scalp was torn down to the skull, and then it ribboned a strip of flesh off all the way down the neck, and across the brisket. It was gross. I couldn't believe this deer was walking around basically scalped. The wound was all scanned over as well. I assumed he got caught up in a fence, freaked out, and ripped it off before freeing himself....tough animals.
