This is not necessarily the taking of the weak and sickly of the Maine deer herd by coyotes.
Reader Al forwarded these photos he received from a friend and fellow hunter. The photos were accompanied by a short caption.
“Tom, This email Is from Paul ***** one of the top cat hunters in the state. Looks like the buck lost out when he hit the slippery ice. Quite common for coyotes to get the upper hand when this happens.”
“Al, I forgot to send these to you the other day. I found this while chasing a cat. I was near the same stream a week before and it was open. Once froze the coyotes ran this big buck out there and ate him alive, but (fish and game) says they just get the sick and little ones! Paul”
