Deer or canine?

[Fletch]

When I looked quick I thought dog but I think I have convinced myself it’s a deer. What do you think?

I'm leaning  towards canine.

Pair of coyotes. 100%.

The farther critter in the pic looks like a doe

Almost looks like a yote lunging for that deer

I think both are deer. The one jumping was probably getting pestered by a buck.

Based on the photo quality, clearly a pair of chupacabras; without a doubt.

I can kinda see that, but if even if that is a 40lb fawn then that makes it a 150lb coywolf on the hunt ?

The critter jumping looks like a coyote to me. Can't tell about the other one.

Objects in the foreground of photographs always look larger than background subjects.

The scale still doesn't make sense.  Looks like a female coyote to me.  Guess we'll never know.

Looking at the back legs and paws , and the double shade of black and gray on the back of the lunging critter I would say its a coyote . The critter in the background could go either way. Looks more like a smaller coyote . but if its a deer , its the smallest and also dumbest deer in the woods .

There is a little snow on the ground . Check the track . The only way to really know what it is .

I vote blurry Yotes

 

[Fletch]

The snow melted out too much to tell anything. I have a pic of one yote stroll through occasionally but no pairs in a long time. And I can’t see a yote chasing a deer in I inch of snow. It’s got no chance. I have a couple more cams in the area I will check this weekend. If I catch a yote around that may sway me.

What the heck do you see that makes it look like a female coyote?

As far as the scale, ask a fisherman.  Lol

Coyotes can and will chase down deer and kill them with no snow .

Sorry Larry.  Forgot you were the expert.  

I have seen maybe a hundred trail camera pictures of coyote pairs.  It is possible that the animal in the back is a fawn.  If so, why is the coyote stock still?  There are limits due to photo quality, but the second animal also looks two toned to me.  What the heck do you see that makes it a fawn?  I may not be Two Buck Larry, but my eyesight is better than good.

Yote going after a young buck.

Looks like a pair of coyotes to me. Leg to body ratio is not right for deer it seems to me.

Could very well be a pair of yotes or deer.was just my first observation when looking at pic.have never seen it nor got pictures of it happening so who knows??

[SportsmanNH]

johnplav's lightened pic shows better that its a coyote . That is a paw on the back right leg, not a hoof.
