Green Flies have already arrived. That fawn has been dead a few hours.
My reply, take it or leave it,I've mentioned before I've harvested, ROFLMAO, killed is what I meant to say, well north of 600 coyotes. Not an affront to those that have taken none, or less, it's what I've done for 25 years since coyotes became prevalent in my state. That is a coyote kill. first thing they do is eat stomach and intestines, before muscle meat, and they are quite adept at chewing through ribs quickly. Not a cat as a cat seldom does stomach matter unless starved, only rarely, cats love muscle meat, and heart,liver, and kidney. How do I know this? We have both where I live,I collect dozens of roadkill deer carcasses yearly to bait coyotes, legal here, and have watched them and recorded them, they go for innards before muscle, cats the opposite. Now i wouldn't bet the farm 100%, but I'm quite sure, guess # 2 would be feral canines. The reason I have my suspicion is coyotes usually go through the rear end first, but they're are exceptions, just like anything else.My roadkills come from the city I work in as a LEO, we get over 100 car strikes a year, in addition to the 235 a year the state permits us to harvest ROFLMAO,kill due to overpopulation. No deer are wasted residents take all.100% yote kill here.
Yes the blowflies were there, blood still fresh. Probably killed some where either side of when the first morning crow pees. I likely scared the critter away from the dinner table. Deer had not just died and a possum found it. Nowhere near where a car could have hit it nor a farmer hit it with a haybine. Fresh kill for certain. Only thing up for discussion is what killed it.
