Default Retrieving Animals Next Day

See it all the time on hunting shows.. and the next day all they show is the antlers because the coyotes have eaten most of the rest of the animal. But no surprise as that is really all the hunting shows care about.

I have left one animal overnight, a solo elk that I recovered, gutted and left with some of my clothes on and around to keep the coyotes at bay. It was rifle season with cooler temps and luckily the coyotes had not touched it and the meat was nice and cool.

Unless I am sitting in a treestand and the animal is completely unaware that I can take a great shot, would be pretty hesitant to shoot an animal at last light with archery gear. Rifle has never been a concern with shirt recovery.
