Coyote Attack in Hudson Falls

One year, when I was in college, I got home just in time for Christmas and couldn’t wait to get in the woods grouse hunting. That’s where I was Christmas Eve morning and was in a pretty secluded spot with a little crunchy snow on the ground. I stopped when I heard a commotion coming from behind that turned out to be an adult doe that came flying by about 50-60 yards from me. I watched as a coyote came not 100 yards behind her. They were gone in a heartbeat. I followed them for over half mile and never saw another track other than the deer and the coyote. The deer ran in a straight line until it crossed a brook, then made a sharp left and followed the brook to a marsh, which they both crossed, but I didn’t. This experience is just one reason why I’ve never bought the whole “coyotes hunt in packs” thing.
I can’t tell you how many coyotes have come out of our deer drives in the Adirondacks over the years and they’re almost always alone and not far from the deer. Many times they are ahead of the deer because they split once a hunter is on their tail and the deer come out after. That’s why I personally don’t shoot coyotes when deer hunting.Life's short, hunt hard!

About 15 years ago I was putting siding up on my garage and noticed what looked like a cat cleaning itself in the field my house sits in. I climbed down and approached it and it had one foot in the air, just like a cat, but it was a small fox. I stood there about 5 feet from it before it noticed me, growled, and ran off. I laughed like hell. No camera, of course.Life's short, hunt hard!

A lot of times its just a mating pair and maybe some young offspring...sometimes they hang out in bigger groups, depending on the food availability.
You'll often only see one at a time because they usually spread out and disperse when looking for food; wolves often do the same thing.
