PhotobucketTurkey season opened about 10 days ago, and evidently Mr. Coyote drew a permit.  I’m not really sure about that, but I know he was hunting them Wednesday morning.  He had the attention of these three young “jakes,” but now had to figure out a way to get at his turkey dinner.  The element of surprise was no longer an option, so the advantage, in this situation, goes to the birds.

What you can’t see is another bird (a hen) just down the fence line from the coyote.  I was on my way to the golf course, so I couldn’t stay and watch the show, but after the way I played golf, probably I should have.  Three hours later, as I drove by this same spot, Mr coyote was standing toward the end of the field.  He was to far away for my camera, but I’m betting he was eating an early turkey dinner.  Coyotes aren’t usually spotted, in the open, at 11:00 a.m. and this guy wasn’t going anywhere.  This tells me he didn’t need to go anywhere, as his meal was at his feet.

It’s a wonder there are any turkey’s, rabbits, or pheasants around, not to mention cats and dogs.  Coyotes have been called “The Little Wolf,” and rightly so.  They are opportunistic hunters and seem to be thriving in Monroe county.  Nomatter it was quite a “cool” experience being able to take in this hunter, and hunted ,scene from natures gallery
