Amazing sequence, a coyote trying to take down an apex predator!

Your first shot of the grizzly is off the charts good. Thanks for sharing.

Two weeks ago A coyote came into our yard and took about 15 laying hens. Two days later my wife shouted inside our front door that "the coyote is back". I had time to grab my 22 caliber colt 1911 and step outside barefoot and in my underwear. I got off one shot at it while he was stopped looking right at me. He was about 70 yards when i fired. It stumbled to his left and ran off to his right. We haven't seen it since, but had a rotting smell coming out of the corn field for about two - three days. Shooting a hand gun is like taking a picture. By the way, we haven't lost any more chickens since, and I'm the neighborhood hero.

This poor bear was being pestered unrelentingly! We watched it chase it around for a good half hour or more. They eventually went up a hill and out of sight with the coyote right behind!


Like a dog chasing a car . . . .What will the coyote do if he catches the bear?
Now that could get ugly!

An outstanding series. I bet she had pups in the area.

It was quite interesting to watch. The bear was just trying to ignore the coyote!

We all wondered if that was the case, but if so she sure followed it a long way. I got my exercise running down the road, with tripod and camera, to try and stay in front of the action!!!

Fantastic capture. Wonder if the coyote was a mother with pups to protect.


Maybe, but if so she sure kept at it for a long time! We were all running down the road trying to stay in front of them. Must have gone close to a mile, then they went up a hill with coyote right behind!

That's one brave (or stupid) coyote.

Nice sequence. I expect this coyote had some young ones nearby and was chasing off a predator that she felt was a threat to her family.

That is a good sequence. Maybe a mama coyote seeing off the bear to protect her cubs.
