Ok I had a calf half eatin by coyote/coyotes.
Its been bitter cold and I suspect it may have froze to death? But when I discovered it all the entrails had been ate and the tracks in the snow were coyotes.
I couldn't find any marks on its neck. I'm not sure how a coyote kills them? I'm not even sure the coyotes killed this one, it may have died from hyporthermia.
This is the first calf we have ever lost that I can find coyote involvement.
Do coyotes grab them by the neck or hamsting them???
Like I said I'm not even sure they did the deed or just happened along and took advantage of a free meal?
