And then they disappeared. (Photo Blog 3.17.26) - Powell Butte

I was getting closer to some deer when right in front of me, there were two huge coyotes! My heart began to race, and I snapped some shots. They were so close that I was worried they might get nervous and see me as a threat. They walked off to my right through the brush and disappeared. There were two groups of deer on each side of them, and they never noticed the coyotes. I backed off a bit and made my way back to the trail. Here are the shots I got from my trek along the Powell Butte Trail.
