Close Encounter
We were along the Madison River in Yellowstone NP and noticed a coyote off in the distance to the east. Other people also noticed it and got way too close, causing the coyote to move towards us. It passed us and continued downstream with the other group of people in hot pursuit. We hopped in our vehicle and headed further downstream to the next pull-off, well ahead of the coyote and his pursuers, hoping it would continue along its current path. We quickly got set up and remained still, not moving or talking. Sure enough, the coyote came right to us and was not threatened by our presence. It was so close I had a difficult time fitting it into the camera’s frame. Such an amazing experience – a true close encounter!
