It happens sometimes...still better backing out than running em out of their bed.
I'd agree most of the time Carpn, but not around Delaware Co., and especially during the late part of the season.
I've seen them do the exact same thing MandR has pictured above, had it happen tracking a buddy's deer 2 seasons ago. He & I both shot deer. Mine went down within sight so we were gutting it first, then going to track his. The yotes came to my deer first, as we were gutting it you could hear them approaching us from down wind, and we could shine our lights into the woods and see their eyes. They moved on from my kill, and tracked his down. Pretty much destroying the deer. It was a hell of a scene. We're planning on thinning them out around here the best we can, but the yotes are a serious issue around here.
We were hearing quite a few sounding off last night while goose hunting. It's become common to at least hear them, and even see them when field hunting for geese the past few seasons.
