Not insane at all. I had camera out all winter on skinned beaver carcasses. You get tons of pics of birds. I got pics of skunks, coyotes, cats, dogs, owls like picking at things too. I would love to have had a deer carcass, its illegal for me to pick up roadkill and take it. God knows why. F&G would rather it rot in the ditch I guess.
Don't know why someone would say coyotes dont eat dead stuff. They love dead stuff, the stinkier the better.
