Great fall pheasant hunt in South Dakota!

I shot a deer at sunset and decided to retrieve in the morning.  About a hundred yards away, my friend and I came up on this site!  I realize that it is not odd to find something of this sort, but I thought the area looked awful clean,  A couple of bare hind legs, and what was left of the spine and ribs!  I thought maybe a pack of coyotes with their young, as it seemed that all the trophies were gone.   Front legs, the hide and the head .   Could it have been a Bobcat?
