Hope you got 223 round with that coyotes name on it.
I had a coyote attack one of my mares and her 6month old foal In the middle of the day. I showed up at the barn I guess just in time. I could tell the mare was very upset. She had a bite and pull down on her shoulder and foal bite on the leg. When saw all this I looked out across the pasture and there was a coyote trotting across. Did not have my 260 rifle with me. Just a 22 over a 20gauge my snake gun.
I don't know if you noticed, but if you look closely, you can see a coyote in the bottom with a fawn in its mouth.
Fawn predation article
great article here by MeatEater.
“The percentage of fawns entering deer populations at the end of summer seldom differs much,” Heffelfinger said. “If the herd is at or above the habitat’s carrying capacity, you lose about half the fawns to starvation or disease. If the herd is below the habitat’s carrying capacity, you still lose about half the fawns, but the cause of death shifts to predators. Researchers have documented that in mule deer and whitetails for decades.”

Was hoping for a clear Bigfoot picture.
What is that? Looks like a baby moose at first glance.
Before this last weekend I would've been sickened by this pic, but after watching Coyote vs Acme I have developed a softer side for Wile E.
That is indeed an impressive catch! Very rare.
Speaking of which, I wonder if that movie at the theaters is any good.Maybe this guy can help
Coyote vs Acme.
You've already shown more critter proof than our TV Bigfoot guy ever did.
Cool pic.
Speaking of this fawn... any of you Madison County SPSers seeing a lot of deer lately (more than usual this time of year)? I usually see a decent amount on the roads to my house, or in the woods in the neighborhood around dusk. But lately multiple times I'm outside and they're traipsing through my yard at noon when it's 100 out. Seems unusual.

There's a ton of them on Rice Road on either side of St. Augustine. I'm thinking that new development at the corner of Rice Road and Madison Avenue pushed a ton of them out.
