turkeys make a coyote run off?

While turkey hunting this morning, a decent flock was in the field about 100 yards from my set up. (and no, they wouldn't respond to calling:mad2: )

There were 4 toms and about 10 hens. A coyote came out of the woods and started heading to the turkeys. The hens started putting and running away. The toms turned to the coyote and kind of puffed up at him. Not a strut, but more of a half strut. The coyote turned tail and headed back in the woods. It looked to be a young coyote, wasn't very big.

I have never seen anything like that before. Was neat to watch. I just wish I had had my camera out.

Didn't get a turkey though...............

I wouldnt want to tangle with 4 committed toms, 1.5" spurs each either!!

Yotes want easy meals I'm thinkin...

 

[BigJake]

Those toms were fired up anyway. They had been fighting each other for a few minutes when the yote showed up.

Would have been neat to see the yote get his butt kicked.

Here's a picture of the toms still squaring off after the yote split.

never seen that, i have seen a bunch of turkeys standing having a stare off with a bobcat though. funny how when they see me they head for the heals and when that bobcat was about 10 foot away they seemed curious about it. finally the bobcat just turned and walked away.

Wow ~ would've loved to have seen that!

I can't decide if I'm more jealous that I've never seen anything like that or the fact that you are still Turkey hunting and I'm not !

Season ends on the 31st. Seeing birds but not having any luck in convincing them to come in close.

The blind stays in the truck after the morning hunt. Too dang hot for that.:cheers:

BigJake, had this happen to me two years ago. Had four jakes chase off a young yote. They went into half strut just like your birds and went right for him. The Yote hit the road quick. Those Jakes thought they were some Bad:***:'s....:hysterical:
