Only if you had a game camera on you at the time. You could have set it up and it would have told you for sure.

Partially eaten and covered up is a sure sign of cat. You got either a big bobcat or a lion helping with your doe management.
Pig's or coyotes would have eaten as much as possible if not all the kill.
Did you not check for tracks??
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Buzzards put the holes in it. I can tell even though your pictures are not the best. Buzzards/Turkey Vultures.

You found this deer dead on a lease/ranch road?
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Yeah I found it on our lease. I have not seen a coyote or a hog on this place the 3 years we have been on it. We have cameras out every where. And I didn't look for tracks because it was alittle unnerving and I didn't have a gun because I was bow hunting.

If it was covered up that is usually a sure sign of a Cat and a good size bobcat can take down a mature deer.
But when a mountain lion kills I thought after the kill shot they start eating on the shoulder and gut. Then remove the guts and hide them. Unless it was a female with cubs and she made the kill and left to go get the cubs to bring them Back and was unable to make it back and vultures got to it for a little while?

I always see critters and vultures start at the easy places eyes, mouth, but or guts.
Other than that when we shoot hogs and dump them they start at the bullet hole sometimes.
Wonder if it was a wounded deer from bad arrow or bullet that just died?
See any tracks around it?
It's hell eatin em live
