2310_1305 The Carrion Eater
This Coyote has found a roadkill deer - big score! Even though it was well picked-over by the time I came along, there was still some meat left on the carcass. And despite the little predator's natural fear of humans, the allure was just too great: it allowed me to get out of my car and approach to about 75 ft, sit down, and shoot away. So, a happy event for all of us but the hapless Mule Deer doe.
One more coyote shot coming tomorrow, then on to something different.
