On December 28th 2009, we were alterted by our little dog that something was happening in our back yard. To our dismay an Eastern Coyote was running across the field towards a lone deer. She stood it off. My husband went out and made enough noise to frighten the coyote into the woods. The doe stood there for about 90 minutes. She was partially hidden by a small evergree and it wasn't until she left her spot that we noted she was badly injured. We have not seen her since. Photos of the coyote are posted on my blog janandbillstwobrooks.blogspot.com
Well, chasing away the coyote probably just prolonged her suffering, since the coyote can't be the cause of the broken leg.
