Coyote on the Hunt - YNP

I wanted to go out and see what I could find after I got off from work today, and was rewarded with a great series just up the road from our campsiteI came over the Continental Divide and saw a car stopped in the middle of the road. This got my senses raised and I grabbed the camera from the passeger seat and set it on my lap.

I pulled over, well off the road and noticed a Coyote hunting in a small open field

Snapped off a few shots before it start walking further away.

I got out of the truck and hid myself right up against the front bumper for protection from the wind and hoping the coyote wouldnt really notice me if I blended into the truck. I've found the wildlife isnt too afraid of the vechicles, but if they see a human by themselves, the tend to run.

I watched as its body tensed up and it launched into the air

Comes up out of the snow with a fresh Kill. It looked over at me sort of showing off, swalled it whole and trotted off into the woods

You can see the snow falling in the background in these images and all of these shots are handheld with a Canon 30D and a Canon 400 f/2.8 ISO 400 This was just before dark at around 6pm

I have seen more coyote this year than ever before. One in DV, one in Yosemite, and two trying to cross the road at night a few weeks ago in NorCal. They looked like they were going to run out in front of me. It's all pretty special for a city boy like me.

Your action shots are really cool. That coyote doesn't look like he's missing any meals.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking that jumping shot and series is gonna be my last from Yellowstone.

We're leaving this morning for Moab and the Utah back country. Cant wait to get there as we ordered a Camping Lab RTT and its waiting at our friends house!

White Rim Trail and a few other areas of Utah will be our next stomping grounds for a few weeks

Yeah okay, not feeling to bad for you now!

Hey Man, life can be rough for us Overlanders....LOL:victory:

I'm actually gonna try an find a job while in Moab. Something about these checks looking like rubber balls isnt good for the bank account. Anyone got any work in Utah they need help with?
