Speaking of foxes, coyotes, or whatever..
A couple weeks ago my partner shot a deer 3 miles from the truck. We skinned it and left it lying on the hide with the heart and liver right next to it. We spread 3 game bags over it and covered it with pine boughs for the night. The next day we came back with my llamas to pack it out.
1 of the game bags was pulled out from under the boughs and piled in a wad. The heart and liver were gone. Nothing else was touched, not even the nearby gut pile. We figured it probably a fox. The ground was too grassy to find tracks so it's a guess. I think a larger coyote would have eaten some meat, too.
I've been hunting for over 50 years and have had to leave game out overnight numerous times. This is the 1st time we've ever had anything happen to one. We've been lucky.
