We came across a group of four Whitetail bucks that were paying much more attention to something to our left than to us. Suddenly, their tails went up and off they ran.
Less than 10 seconds later a coyote came sauntering through. We rounded a bend and saw one of the four bucks near the side of the road, again looking up the ridge.
We wondered if the coyote was nearby and then saw the roadside buck change his gaze from us to back up the ridge. Sure enough, we saw the coyote coming down towards the deer.
We doubt the coyote was serious about the deer, and certain he wouldn't have come much closer to us, but it was kind of cool to witness this first hand.
