Young buck and coyote

[charlie 01]

Got a trailcam pic of a buck that dosen't seem to be too afraid of a coyote. Don't know what he is thinking, but he is not running away. It could be that there is only one coyote and he can handle that. I'm sure if there was more than one, he would change his tune. Some time ago, somewhere, I saw a pic of an older bigger buck with his antlers and head down facing off with a coyote.

The songdog doesn't seem interested either. Nice photo -- thanks for posting.

That is a great photo, thanks!

Maybe 5 years ago in midday during the rut I came across a large buck chasing a neighbor's German Shepard on the fence line right next to the road. I saw them from a ways off and watch this for more than a mile.

The dog was running for his life for sure! I would think that unless there is more than one yote, they would stand up against them. But depending on the time of year & the deer's temperament, maybe they just don't want to mess with them and just run away? I'll have to stop a big buck and ask this year

bobow, that's unusual, never have seen a buck chase a dog. That buck must have been pissed about something, or could it have been a female German Shepard? You said it was during the rut, right.

Don't know the sex of the dog but I do remember it was the first week of November so I was assuming it was during the rut. I had not seen the dog before but I assumed it was one of the neighbor's that live close by that I have no contact with.
