Guys which would be more likely to chew the front legs off a grown deer and bury the remains under leaves and dirt.

The deer found was missing the two front legs and shoulders chewed off not cut out. it was under a pile of leaves and dirt with about a 6ft circle around it where the dirt and leaves were drug up to cover the deer. I dont think coyotes would do it.


Never seen anything quite like it. Mad that I didnt have a camera

Eric I have never been around bears but I would guess it be some sort of cat. I know a bobcat will cover things up like this and come back later to finish eating it. I'm not sure if larger cats do this.

It was all covered up again today, my old man and uncles say they have seen cat tracks around it. They put two trail cams on it. I will have to see a big cat to believe it. if they do get some pictures I will share them as soon as I can.

I'm with Dustin I believe it to be a cat. How much is it eating each visit?
