The wife and I have a gravity (corn) feeder 30 yards from the house. So we can watch the deer and turkeys feed. The turkeys are here at first light. And come an go all day long. There are 10 Long Beards that are regulars.
This morning at dawn (very first light) they were here like usual. All of a sudden a Coyote comes out of the brush about 12 yards from the turkeys. Walks slowly past the birds always watching them. Then down the hill out of sight. 30 sec. later it reappears walking the brush line back up the hill past the birds again. This time it turns and goes straight away from them back into the brush.
Another 30 sec or so it reappears from down the hill again. I can't take it any more. I get up from the comp. and go to the window to get a better view of it. He was just sitting there looking the turkeys over. My gosh there is a second coyote 5 yards behind the first one, and it to was just watching the turkeys at the feeder.
I quickly considered my chances of getting out the side door with my S G and OO buck. and that I figured was slim to none. Since the snow is crusted over and crackals every time you step.
They finally went back down the hill not to be seen again.
