Coyotes vs. Deer

Coyotes won. 



I don't know when they actually made the kill, but saw at least three coyotes working on the carcass.  While tugging and pulling it apart, they eventually moved it behind a big tree so we were no longer able to observe.  However, the buzzards are observing.  Two of them have already landed in one of the big trees.  I have seen eagles chase coyotes away from their fresh kill, but don't know if these buzzards are hungry enough to take on this bunch. 
Of course, I feel bad for the deer, and hope it isn't leaving an orphan fawn!  But, coyotes are coyotes, and they too must eat.  Around here sometimes it's like watching National Geographic.  Or Marlin Perkins, on Wild Kingdom.  Wow!  That's really dating me!  Anyone reading this remember the Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with host Marlin Perkins?
