A little bit about the coyote...

Migration Patterns: Year-round resident; juveniles will break from the family unit and establish their own territory anywhere from 10 to 100 miles away.
The area probably also has bear, mountain lions, wolves....and certainly the smaller scavengers...birds, mice and rats, etc....
The search for further remains would be unfathomable, IMO...MOO
I was curious after looking up coyote information. Here's some further information on the wolves and bears...didn't get to the mountain lions...
WOLVES:
Territory: The smallest territory on record was held by a pack of six wolves in northeastern Minnesota, which occupied an estimated 33 km2 (13 sq mi), while the largest was held by an Alaskan pack of ten wolves encompassing a 6,272 km2 (2,422 sq mi) area..
Feeding: Once the breeding pair has finished eating, the rest of the family tears off pieces of the carcass and transport them to secluded areas where they can eat in peace. Wolves typically commence feeding by consuming the larger internal organs of their prey, such as the heart, liver, lungs and stomach lining. The kidneys and spleen are eaten once they are exposed, followed by the muscles.[142] A single wolf can eat 1519% of its body weight in a single feeding.[143]

BLACK BEARS:
Over 90% of a bears natural diet is grasses, berries, fruits, nuts and plants. The rest is primarily insects and scavenged carcasses.
A black bear may have a range from 10 to 250 square miles.
