Observation Date / Time

This is at the bottom of my driveway. Deer cross at this point all the time. This one was ripped to pieces during the night by either dogs or coyotes. The only thing left at this point is the head. I have known this to happen before with deer that get hit in the area but this was a bit different so not sure if there were several dogs or if it was coyotes. There are several coyote sitings in the area.
