Saw some coyotes chasing deer.

Story time. My friend and I spotted this deer from about 600+ yards away and decided to put the stalk on him. We managed to get above him about 80 yards away. The buck was not a shooter (giant forky), so we sat and watched to see if there were any other possibly bigger bucks around. A doe started trotting up the opposit hill away from us and the buck followed after nervously looking up the draw we were in for a good minute. Another doe and a smaller deer (i don't know if calling it a fawn is correct, but it was definitely a young deer born this spring) jumped from out of the brush closer to us and started up the hill behind the buck. Right then we saw two coyotes racing accross the hill opposite us towards the deer (we assumed they were going for the young deer). I, being the deer conservationist that I am, could not let this poor young deer be taken by these coyotes, so I intervened with a 100 grain .243 bullet and whacked one of them.
This was the most exciting hunting experience I have ever had, and I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen something like this because before this event I didn't even know coyotes would attack deer unless they were newly born.
And what good would this story be without pictures!?!?

In late September I was out scouting, and had a coyote chase a doe and a fawn right across the dirt road I was walking, about 10 feet in front of me. I thought the deer were going to run me over. I didn't realize they were being chased until the coyote jumped out of the brush. I had crouched down on the ground and the coyote saw me as he was in mid air, and he spun 180 degrees and ran back into the brush. There was also a third deer that I heard running away that didn't cross the road in front of me. My brother also saw a coyote chasing a doe through the clearcut last November while he was hunting the late muzzeloader season. In another area, during early muzzleloader season, he saw the same thing, a coyote chasing a doe through a clearcut. So it happens more than we know. I'm sure the coyotes are able to catch a lot of the younger deer, and even older deer occasionally.

Deer chasin' coyotes, coyotes chasin' deer.....it happens all the time, I've seen it many times but it pisses me off when I'm calling and the deer start chasing them off while they are coming to the call.
I had 5 dogs coming in one evening and the deer began chasing them as soon as the coyotes approached the herd of deer. Suddenly coyotes were going in every which direction with a couple of does hot on their tails. It was real funny at the time but I never did kill a coyote out of that group, that sucked.

Good sized dog and nice shot placement!
They do more damage than most folks give them credit for. A few years ago I lost a 600# heifer to a pack of 6. It's been war on em ever since.

I watched a big ol muley doe literally smack the sh*t out of a dog this year...one of the coolest things I've seen out in the woods.
