They may have eaten them. It is amazing how fast a whole deer can disappear. Other animals then carried off the scraps would be my guess.

I lived in Utah about 60 miles off the Colorado border for 13 years. I’ve ran lots of bait stations and never had them just disappear. There’s no fur or bone for a 200 yard radius. Going to put three more out tonight and snare up the whole area👍

I wonder if tying a beaver (or deer parts) in a tree a little out of reach of coyotes, to allow it to work better for bringing in bobcats, might be a wise idea for cat trappers.

Lots and f hunters around here have left a deer in the woods planning on returning in the morning to drag it out only to find nothing but maybe some hair or just a picked clean spine and in a day or so even that is gone
Amazing how fast they can disappear and just how much meat a yote can gorge on then stagger of to sleep somewhere
Have seen them looking like the had a full watermelon in their belly afterwards

A couple coyotes, 4-5 eagles, a dozen crows and a flock of magpies will strip a lion killed deer in a day or two around here. After a week there's hardly a trace
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

No lions, wolves or bear.

We don’t have a lot of birds in this part of the country, if you look at the pic posted there is latterly no bird sign at all. We do have lots of eagles. I have about 12 other bait stations out being hit, they are destroyed with parts everywhere. I have yet to see a magpie, only a few small birds every once in awhile.

A fresh kill around here and all the meat eating birds show up. I look for birds every time I'm out hoping to find a fresh kill and lion tracks.
