I'm a little skeptical about this. I would bet the buck was already injured and the coyotes knew it. There are never more than two yotes in a picture. You can't tell me two scrawny yotes can take down a mature buck. Why did the buck stay in front of the camera so long. I think a healthy deer would have been out of there long before the yotes attacked. It's very rare for coyotes to take down a mature buck, at least down here it is. Maybe it is more common up north where snow could hinder a bucks escape. Most deer taken by yotes are either fawns or wounded or sick deer. Regardless, those are neat but sad pics. It's a shame a buck that nice has to go that way.
