My favorite series of Coyote pictures ..
I took these back in March of 2007 .
I'm driving home West on the 401 .... thinking ... man , I better get some cool pictures , if Wylie wants new updates ever week at the ACA site !
I'm daydreaming thinking about the standard duck , geese and turkey shots I have taken so far this week ..... ( kind a drab normal stuff ) ... when I catch a glimpse of a coyote approx 200 yards out at the North end of a corn stubble field .... I pull over and park my wifes Corolla ( cheaper on gas for those 401 runs ) along the ditch .... grab my Pentax K100D with the 200mm lens on it , and hussle into the field ...
I can't see they coyote now , but I'm picturing his travel path as I wade thru waste deep snow drifts to a fence line .... I find a heavy travel path between the 2 field hammered down with coyote tracks .... I hunker in the fenceline with my back to a huge century old tree and wait ...
I scan the rolling hill corn stuble , but can't see the coyote ? ... I wait approx 5 mins and decide he must have seen or heard me swimming in thru the snow drift ! and took off ....
I'm just about to leave when I catch movement just over the rise and he comes in at approx 35 yards ... the wind is hard in my face ...
I end up snapping 95 frames of him as he zig zags and mouses thru the field .... he is at 20 yards now , ans still doesn't see me .... 15 yards when he puts his head down and it looks like he is staring right at me ! .... I'm getting nervous now! .... he is at 10 yards and seems to be looking right at me !! , I'm thinking " this ain't the spooky coyotes I'm use to ! "
I keep snapping pictures and at the 5 yards mark he flares sideways ( must have heard the camera ) .... I get one frame and he is off like his " hair is on fire " ... I don't know if I even took a breath on during the last 15 yards !
Man that was exciting !
Here are 5 of the 95 frames I took ... from 35 yards in to 5 yards , before he took off !
I'm thinking " man , I must have got some cool shots in that batch ! " ..... got many blurred shots since I had to go to manual focus as he walked thru the corn stubble .... but those 5 frames turned out " pristeen " I got home and while the pic's were downloading from the camera , I called Wylie and said " wait till you see what I got ! "

Great photos, as usual.
I honestly like 'yotes and wolves, they're such beautiful creatures. I just don't like them so much where I hunt!

I didn't know much about them so I looked it up.
I guess us Floridians have a new dog in town.

Thanks all ..
Yep , that was one of the best looking yote's I had seen in a while as well ... many around here have mange ..
The wind was right for me that day .. The last frame is after his 1st jump when he started to retreat ... he was off like a shot about a milli second after that .. He ran so fast I couldn't focus on him as he raced across the field ..
Just happy to have gotten the approach shots ..
As for screen savers ... no problem !
