Way to go on the bucks!!

My brother lost the trail on a doe a few years back behind the house. I went out first thing in the am and found it but yotes had got to the ass end. I took the straps and fronts with no issue. As long as the skin is not punctured or anything the meat under would be fine.

My first buck had the back end chewed out, I had no problem taking everything I could. My friend absolutely refused to eat it and even drew coyotes on the freezer paper lol

@Whereareyoubuck you can draw a pretty conservative area around where it was chewed and where you take your cuts. Hang it up, skin it and just like you would arrow and bullet wounds, trim around the nasty parts. If you're really uneasy just be extra conservative. Any meat is better than no meat. You're going to lose the tenderloins of course and I'd steer away from the shoulders, although parts might still be ok for the grind pile. But those back hams and chops should be fine. Just be sure to check the inside of the backstraps that they didn't get through from the guts. 

Normally, like other guys have said they'll eat the ass out and you lose a lot of meat in the rump, but yours looks untouched.

So here’s the full story…shot him late yesterday, and found guts everywhere at impact but barely any blood. I watched him run toward my house (this is about a quarter mile into the woods on my property), and his blood trail followed along the creek that runs parallel to the trail I take to go home.

Got up this morning and started tracking at 6 AM (thanks everyone for the advice), tracked his blood and guts for an hour, about another quarter mile through my neighbors’ properties into a swamp. Turns out this is a huge buck bedding area…huge rubs and scrapes everywhere! Had to carry him back through the mud and water, but totally worth it. 
 

The coyotes only ate some of the intestines, and left everything else. Other than the bad shot, overall still very happy!

Awesome I love Barnett they are great bows. The one I had was a older Barnett.

I hope the next pic we see of that bow has your son and a dead deer in it!

Well he's not big, but he did feel a lot lighter than deer I have in the past...this past year I have been training a lot with deadlifting and squats. Guess it paid off!
