It was opening day for deer season here and my son-in-law, Travis, and his buddy, John, were hunting on our land down back this and they saw three coyotes and no deer. The hollow behind our house is known for big bucks and is considered a prime hunting spot. They did hear a buck snort at them, but never got a good view of him.

John said one of the coyotes came trotting up within 30ft of him before it saw him and then ran off around him. They didn't shoot any of them.

I'm not kidding, the coyotes are as thick as thieves here this year.
