I hope the big buck was dead by the time the yotes started gnawing on him. Kinda doubt it tho. Heck of a deer and I'm glad y'all found him!

Yep, I think the yotes took him down too. When we found him, I looked back at the creek crossing and you could just see what had likely happened. He was weak and the steep crossing slowed him down. That;s where they yotes were able to take him down. He shouldn't have went more than a few hundred yards with the shot hitting him in the stomach.
