What?? Coyotes would not have touched the antlers....might have damaged the skull cap in theory but would never have touched the antlers, and that rack is too big for them to drag very far at all. Have you actually seen where a coyote chewed up antlers??


Yes

Have seen yotes and wolves chew the snot out of antlers. More so wolves but did have one small forkhorn that yotes messed up the small rack with a few gnaw marks.

I'm sure a few other guys have seen dogs chew antlers? I have seen many.....even sheds. Fresh kills dogs love to chew.
