Coyotes and White-tailed Deer Doe
There were 6 coyotes hunting a white-tailed deer doe on the north shore of Lower Derby Lake today. They had torn her hamstrings up pretty badly, but she was still fighting them off and keeping them at bay when I left after watching them for over an hour. She was bleeding a bit fromm her back end. In the end, I am sure the coyotes will get their meal, but not without a fight. These photos are best viewed in the large size. The deer and coyotes were about 600 yards away on the far side of the lake.
