I saw the strangest thing yesterday

My SO and I were sitting on the deck yesterday having lunch when the dogs started barking their heads off. I looked down and saw a coyote running up our driveway. That in itself is a little strange at 1pm. They're usually out at sunset or at night. The stranger thing is what was making the coyote run. A DEER, in fact a doe, was running behind it, obviously chasing it. All we could think of was that the coyote was after the doe's fawns and she was pissed off. But I've never seen a deer chase a coyote before.

I'm not a fan of all those home video shows on tv, but that sounds like something that would have made an interesting video! I live "country" and we get animals too. My favorite was the family of foxes that lived under our barn floor. Mom would bring the babies out and play and groom them, and we watched with binoculars . They were adorable! The parents would leave small animal furs all over our yard which we had to clean up, but other than that we really enjoyed them.

That is very interesting for sure! I have seen them out during the day around here quite a bit. Funny the deer was chasing him lol! WOuld have liked to have seen that!
I saw 2 rattle snakes last week making baby snakes. I thought they were fighting at first. Then realized that was not the issue. That was a new one on me. Regardless I stayed out of their way.

we have a young coyote making himself too comfortable at my worksite. He won't even run away when we get near him. Someone even saw him with a cat in his mouth

That's why my kitties are strictly indoors....

I saw a news article that somewhere around here there's a coyote running around with a cookie jar stuck on his head.... He's been managing to avoid animal control/game warden? so far....

I've had to suture two dogs that were attacked by does with fawns. Their hooves are sharp and they'll lay them wide open.
