I've been watching trail cam photos of these what I thought were foxes for a while and then recently I got this set of pictures where they're chasing a deer and I noticed the size of them and I'm wondering if maybe they're actually coyotes nearly all of the pictures that I have of them are at night I only have one picture that is during the day and it is very blurry because the camera was wet what do y'all think?
Picture #2 hard to tell but the black leg leads me to believe it's a fox. But most probably a coyote with a dirty leg judging by the size and tail (pointed toward camera)
Picture #3- definitely coyotes. I was always told coyotes don't play well with foxes and will kill and eat them when given the opportunity.
The first picture is the deer and then 30 seconds later the canine in the second picture I assume was chasing it, the was this other pic between the two
They all look like Coyotes to me (except pic one of course).
In pics two and three, they're the same height. (Backs about even with the third leaf down on the plant beyond them).
The fourth pic also looks like Coyotes.
I can't believe that no one else agrees with me. I'm confident enough in my answer I'd bet on it. I'll send pics to Grant Woods and Jason Sumners. If they both agree, we have our answer. If not, we'll call it a push. Sound good?
The only thing I have ruled out for sure is aardvark. Thats only because they give me the creeps and I didnt have creeps when I looked at the pictures.

Can you please help me with some game cam identification. I think I know what a couple of the pics are, but included all from that day in case they helped with the id of the couple I'm unsure of. If you have a guess, but only say 50% or xx% certain please let me know that too, for example 5.53.41 50% sure its a zebra, 22.08.24 90% sure its a camel...
I tried finding his email address and couldn't find it. Didn't exactly find Jason's either, but kind of remembered the formula they used when I worked at MDC many years ago.
If you click on the pic, it may slightly enlarge it. The deer is facing towards the camera and is smelling, drinking or eating with its head down. You can see the neck between the two sets of leaves. A coyotes neck isn't that long or skinny.
