I set a trail cam over some deer remains and hides and had several animals come in and inspect them including coyotes, hawks, coons, deer, and a bobcat. The bobcat would eat on it, bury it, then come back 6-10 hours later, eat on it some more, then bury it back.

I am 99% sure it is a bobcat, and I bet he will be back. Share the pics.

Never seen a coyote cover a carcass or heard of one doing it but cats always do.

I have seen the exact thing Ben and put trail cam up and among all the other critters like coons, opossums, coyotes a couple bobcats showed up witch we suspected as the culprits.

Another vote for a bobcat. Bobcats exhibit the same behavior when they come upon a fresh deer carcass here in Texas where I live.

I doubt there are wolverines in Kansas, but if there were, it would probably still be there and the stink would be horrible.

I bet it's a big bobcat, too.

By me, if a big cat got to it, the rest would be up a tree.  So, I guess  Bob is pretty reasonable. Like the others, I am curious what your trail cam pics reveal.

Good Luck,

Bob.

Here's the answer! I got 277 exposures in three days. Besides the cat a coyote,coon and a possum visited the kill. There were a ton of cat pictures and you could almost read his mind " Damn I left a whole deer here!"        ]

I don't trap anymore...but the cats that were spotted used to be worth the most. That is the most spotted cat i've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
