Congrats on a very nice buck! Sorry for the damage.

Good deer

If your confident you made a good shot there is no need to wait 30 min.
Also, getting down while the other deer are there will not negatively affect anything.

I had a coyote on a doe last year in 10 min

Great buck

Glad they didn't eat it all!! Congrats on a great deer.

I completely and totally disagree with everything this guy says and think you made the right call even if it does mean you lost a little meat. Congrats on the buck

I was in grimes county about 10 years ago when I shot a doe and watched her lay about 100 yards away from me on the edge of the pasture I was hunting. It wasn't 20 mins later a coyote was one her. I had to climb out of the tree and run him off. He tore a hole in the belly and had guts everywhere.

No since educating the deer you were that close to them and they didn't know it. Especially getting down from treestand when they haven't had much pressure on them so they don't start searching trees for danger.

Beauty of a buck. Sorry about the coyotes
Seen it happen once. Had a bobcat beat me to a doe once. But I got there before he started eating.
Seen some deer really cleaned up overnight.
I would never leave one overnight on our lease.
I shot three coyotes one day this year without calling.

They was quick

Man that's crazy!!

I had that happen to me once. Shot the doe, packed up my stuff and walked to the feeder to start looking for blood. She ran 30 yds into a creek bed and was eaten up like that when I got there. It was maybe 15 minutes. We killed a lot of coyotes off that place though.

Nice buck, b-straps & t-loins still good, kill some doe for hindquarter meat..

[Pullersboy]

Dang. That sucks. I can't believe they got on it that fast.

Kid shot a doe on my place in Brady, dad called us over for recovery. We walked up about 30 min. After the shot and there was a pack of hogs tearing that deer apart, they had eaten almost everything from the rib cage back. Hogs can strip a deer faster than a pack of coyotes...Was pretty wild.

Unless you actually saw coyotes on him, it could have been pigs. Had pigs get a doe I shot one year in Florida that looked just like that. I walked up on a big boar eating her hind end.
