Funny you should mention this...
Lisa and I rode the roads, Sunday, glassing fields and such. She got to see her first coyote. There was a buck and a doe feeding in the corner of the field.....and we watched a beautiful, black coyote stalk towards them in the beans. It was cool because we knew the deer couldn't see him.
Not sure if they winded him or not.....but they left before he closed the distance, fully.
I saw another (maybe another) black coyote, this morning on the way into the office.....about 1mi. from where we saw the one, Sunday.
Cool stuff
