I came across the signs of a Vermont coyote ambush as shown in a new 4" snowfall. I was hunting and walking along a field edge when I came across a ripped up and completely eaten doe. The legs and head were all torn off and all the meat was completely picked clean. It was spread over an area about the size of a small house with lots of coyote scat mixed with deer hair. The snow was all flattened and covered with both coyote prints and then bird tracks. I decided to try to figure out what happened so I circled the area until I could find the deer tracks. There were 3 or 4 deer that came out of the swamp and I could see where they were moving to the north along the field pawing up the grass in the new snow. When I came to where they started to run I slowed down and found 6 or more spots where there were coyotes laying down in the high weeds on the edge of the swamp. It looked like a lone coyote came across the field and chased the deer right into the bedded pack. The doe they chose was probably a fawn based on the size which at that time of year around here would run about 60 to 80 pounds. The coyotes had quite a feast and didn't waste much. That kill was clearly done by an organized pack consisting of adults and young ones.
