I found one the next day for trox last year that was still alive and shot pretty much the same way. I jumped him and went back we got shotguns and ended up finishing him off 100 yards or so from where I initially jumped him.
The one from the pic may have very well taken most of the night to die. It’s hard to say. He was probably just barely clipped in the bottom of the chest cavity. There was a defined bed about 10 yards from where we found the carcass where he had laid back down for a while. There was deer hair scattered all over the place around the bed in a really large area....bout the size of a big house. I don’t know if the yotes eventually took him down or if that was just where they were dragging the carcass around.
