It was set up. There are a number of factors that prove this is a staged photo -- not the least of which is common sense and a knowledge of the animal(s).

A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him "Why do you carry a 45?" The Ranger responded, "Because they don't make a 46."

I also remember seeing this in an issue of predator xtreme. From maybe october. you will find it in the digital archives. Outdoor life may have been duped but so were the ecditors at PM.

Read the description of the event and study the photo. The photo and description are completely consistent, plausible and not at all inconsistent with coyote behavior under the circumstances as described by the author and photographer.

You must be looking at a completely different photo than the rest of us... Eeker

It is STAGED, pure and simple.

When i was a boy, my Dad and his friends hunted foxes from airplanes. Piper cub with skis. Northern Minnesota c1955. Anyway, they would get a hangar full of frozen foxes. You could pose them just about anyway you wanted.

From the picture description it says:
"They called for 15 minutes and brought in the pack of coyotes that they couldn't see until they were 20 yards away."

But if you look at the picture the guy is standing out in the open with very few small grass clumps around him.

Is their eyesight that bad?

anybody who thinks that picture is real needs to check with me. I have about 100 shares in the largest chocolate factory in SW Idaho I would let go for the right price.

Only one poster -- Jordan -- seems to think it is real.

But hey, I have dibs on selling him the Golden Gate bridge and some ocean front property in central Texas... Big Grin

Coyotes sometimes get so engrossed in the prey that they don't notice the hunter. That being said, this looks a little, "funny".

With editors like that is there any wonder why most hunting sports magazines are crap, why zumbo was on staff, or why most hunting/shooting magazines contain great large and small idiocies?
