After looking at this closer, I think they placed frozen coyotes in the snow. The one has snow all over his back, there are all kinds of tracks in the snow, and the looks on the coyotes faces are suspicious. Either way, it was funny.

The picture is B.S. Look at the tracks where they placed the frozed coyotes out in front of them and there is no coyote tracks behind them.

How come when I hunt I never get a pack of coyotes to come into 20 yards, and then just jump around not knowing what to do so I can shoot at them?!

Oh yeah!!!! Because I don't set up FROZEN COYOTES!!!

:lol:

I think these are the same guys that set up the two (frozen) mating coyotes in the field at the Baldwin exit on HWY 83 (north of Bismarck). :lol: Really made me look!!!

Yeah, it is a BS picture for all the reasons listed. The drag marks in the snow and the camera man would be dead if the shooter was firing into the pack with a pistol. Nice idea though for a pic. LOL
