What comes down the trail.

While in the woods you never know what to expect to show up on the trail.

How the hell did they not notice you? #2 is the better of the two imo. Still, amazed at how close you got, coyotes around here don't come within miles of humans for fear of being shot.

LOL... years of being in the woods and learning to blend in while bow hunting have let me get close to lots of critters. In the second shot I was spotted when I fired multiple shots off, the one on the left is looking right at me and they were gone a split second later.

#2 is just awesome not that #1 isn't. I can't believe they let you that close to them. Great shots.

Cool shots. Coyote numbers seem like they have never been higher. Seems to me like they have spread into human inhabited areas more and more over the last ten years. Lotsa' coyotes hunting house cats in urban areas here on the left coast. Right in town. On one highway stretch last summer, I counted three dead coyotes within a 2.5 mile stretch near my old hometown; when I lived there 30 years ago I never saw a SINGLE coyote, alive or dead.

I know what ya mean, I did some bowhunting for a couple years and I don't think I've ever sat so still since. Were you camo'd up or using a blind of any sort?
