Coyote Hunt

In the wee hours of the morning, the dogs suddenly went wild and I knew a Coyote must of been very close by. We've had a pair of Coyotes hanging around the area now for the past year. They never come on my property but one is so bold, it went after a neighbors old dog mid day. Fortunately he was right there and it did run off. Early morning I let the dogs out and they did their routine perimeter check though this morning they did not come back up to the house. A bit later I ventured out with camera in hand. A lot of fresh tracks in the snow in my neighbors yard and right along my fence line. Something was keeping him hanging around my neighbors yard and the dogs were all over it.

The Coyote on the other side of the fence moves along the river heading off into the woods.
Had he not seen me and spooked, at first he seemed to have stopped and was looking at the dogs.
