Fox or coyote or deer carcass?

[SmokingUPnorth]

Kids found this in our yard and my wife sent me a pic of it. We have seen a fox and a few deer, and has been a few coyote spotting around but we haven’t seen one. Anyone able to tell what it is? It’s pretty gross haha. Whatever ate it up didn’t leave any meat

Coyote

Canine of some kind

And I’ll tell you if you ever see a deer with teeth like that RUN! Lol

Definitely not a deer. I say dog or coyote....depending on the size.

Definitely canine. Judging by the size, either a coyote or a dog.

I'm looking at the skull size versus the rib cage. I would guess a dog versus a coyote.

Lots of cleanup critters out there. Birds will pick a carcass pretty clean. Blow fly maggots will consume a lot

Hard to say without a size comparison but here is a yote - 8.5” end to end

Yotes ate someones dog.

Definitely a mid sized canine, coyote size and was in its prime. Teeth are nice. Definitely didn’t die of old age. Could have been the victim of a Benjamin high caliber air rifle. Just saying.

Sure has some nice teeth , whatever it is .

I agree with CR that coyotes ate the neighbors dog or a bear ate a coyote. In my neck of the woods a coyote doesn't eat another coyote.

Could be a Chupacabra, just throwing that out there.

I think you might be surprised at what you don't see.

Yotes will prey on the young, weak and old, especially of other packs and their own in times of scarce game/ starvation.
Carcasses of coyotes often get consumed.
Outcasts and loners are killed, gutted and sometimes eaten

I took some classes offered by the Missouri Conservation on deer herd management .
One thing he said is each Coyote is responsible for killing 3 fawns a year .

Coydog is my bet.

Good possibility. We have feral dogs that have interbred with coyotes around here.
