The coyotes in the Sunriver area are generally nonaggressive and have plenty of mice and squirrels to eat so this family was most likely engaging in "practice" hunting behavior with the local deer. Watch at :20 as the deer jump into the lake to "escape".
Great video! Can we borrow the coyotes for a weekend to clean up a sage rat problem in Sisters? You can have them back afterward.
