- One of trail cams caught a coyote attack on whitetail fawn. Hope the fawn has managed to escape.

Update: apparently there is a happy end to this story.
Fawn made it, see here:

Is the fawn killed?
Am not sure. Hopefully the adults were able to drive the coyote away... realistically fawn's chances are pretty slim in this case
@@onhuntingjourney1547 But there were two does chasing behind. So unless it was a pack of coyotes, there is a chance the deer were able to fight of the coyote, but then again, not sure if the heavy foresting would work in the deer’s favor.
Hopefully. Will check on those cams soon to see if fawn is still around
@@mahendrasmith7589 In addition, although I'm not sure how fast deer can run, coyotes can run up to 40 miles per hour.
@@dbzgal04 A healthy deer can run at least 40mph, in addition, deer’s endurance should be longer than the coyote, at least in theory. The coyote’s advantage is surprise. Once that is gone, the deer has the advantage.
IF there are fawns...there are pups.
It's called the food chain, and everything needs to eat, even coyote pups.
We'd be doing the exact same thing if someone wasn't doing it for us. 🙂
There is a follow-up video, and it seems the fawn survived without injury.
Ya there’s no way to know if that was the fawn in video or if it was the fawn of one of the 2 does that came in to distract the coyote. Sounded like it got caught after the action went off camera
It's just disgusting how many human beings are in these comment sections demonizing predators for doing what mother Nature designed them to do.
@@aquariandawn4750
I agree...HUMANS are the worst predators.
@@aquariandawn4750 shush, nobody is demonizing coyotes. You’re just looking too hard for something to be upset about lol
Even fawn knows to run in a circle as rabbits and deer to try to confound pursuers sense of smell. Also, mama AND other does are trying to intervene
I like how the fellow deer rush to the rescue.
I just watched one on TH-cam where a hawk grabbed a rabbit, it started to cry and a deer came out of nowhere and trampled the hawk to death. Search it, 10/10 👍
Awesome footage!
Thank you very much!
Guess Wile E. Coyote gave up on the Road Runner
Great footage
That was incredibly intense and absolutely fascinating. Imagine a life like this; as a fawn, you’re being hunted 24/7, your only defense mechanisms being scentless, motionless, and camouflage. The mother Doe, with every motherly impulse inducing her to stay with her newborn, an evolved survival instinct wins, and compels her to leave for up to 36 hours at a time, so as to draw away predators. The coyote, who must hunt to eat, and if he fails too often, his family won’t survive.
And then you have us humans, watching their struggles on our IPads, in a comfy Barca lounger, with pizza and beer (not Bud Light of course).
Was actually eating fawn-dous !
My God, this video left me impressed, I had never heard the cries of terror and despair of a baby, for the coyote it is important to catch it ... my God ... well ... welcome to Planet Earth
It’s why I night hunt for coyote
@@gregshuttleworth4465 If you kill the coyotes, the beautiful deer will be so many that they will destroy the vegetation in the area ... the best thing is to just watch and comment
The cries of terror and despair "impress" you. I have a better solution. First check if your empathy levels are ok with a psychologist. Second, humans can control animal populations through sterilisation and hence keep numbers at a manageable level. As for predators like Coyotes, sterilise them all and their species will end. That way they can no longer terrorise other living creatures, that includes humans and human owned pets.
I can't watch 😢
Sterilisation is VERY expensive. One has to first trap/dart all animals to be sterilized thus its simply not practical to do so..
All part of Mother Nature.
BTW, what exactly was the snapping sound near 0:34-0:35 before the fawn starts bleating frantically?
sounds like a branch
Beer can.
a Hunter saying it's Miller Time. Except that Miller mostly
puts out bottles/screw-off tops. Wouldn't get that popping sound
with Miller.
I thought it was a gun shot lol. I’ve literally accidentally stepped on a fawn walking down a game trail, they don’t bolt unless they feel the end is truly near. One of the best and worse defences
Coyotes eat to live, our pets? Well, they're overweight.
Coyote looks rather well fed in the first place.
Baby sounds like Bart Simpson getting choked by Homer, Great video
I love how the 2 deer's runs to there douaghter or son
Parabéns muitos bom mesmo Deus abençoe todos meus escritos amén 🤔😳😁🤭😂😂😂👍
Coyotes play like they are slow but are lightning quick , totally feel for the fawn but it’s mother nature’s way of balancing
Still I want to cry !
Hopefully, the fawn was able to escape. Do Coyotes normally hunt deer?
Yes. Pretty much all large/midsize carnivores(coyotes/wolves/bears/cougars etc..) hunt fawns in spring due to lack of other nutrition and easy target. I read somewhere that deer moms even eat fawns poop in first few weeks after birth, just to keep the scent down and not attract any predators in the area.
No stoopid! They usually go to Walmart and buy dog fud. D'uh!
On occasion, but they usually prefer smaller prey.
No coyote usually hunt small prey rabbits, voles, Turkeys
We saw our first coyote about 5 years ago. At that time we saw multiple deer on almost every outing. Now we hear coyotes every night yipping as they chase their prey in the valley. They run in about a 3/4 mile circle and sometimes we can hear them howl and then they are growling, we believe they are fighting over the deer they just killed. We have recently found fawns laying in a pasture and the next day instead of the fawn there would be a pile of fur remaining. We now seldom see a deer on our 300 acre hunting area! Yes coyotes decimated our deer population and other Hunter friends all over the state of Georgia tell us similar findings. Coyotes were once rare in Georgia but the legend is that some fox hunters 40 years ago with a scarcity of coyotes imported some from out west to hunt. Ironically they also reduce the fox population in areas that they have moved into.
Poor baby fawn tried to outrun a hungry coyote while his mama followed them in the woods to make sure that her baby doesn't get eaten alive
Talk about running for your life.
Don’t worry Fawn definitely got away those Adults we’re coming in hot pursuit they drove that coyote away 💯👌
Aaaaaaawwwww poor baby 🥺hope it’s okay
Dios mío, este video me dejo impresionado, jamás había escuchado los gritos de terror y desesperación de una cría, para el coyote es importante atraparlo... dios mío... en fin... bienvenidos a Planeta Tierra
That fawn was plum flat out gettin on with it on all fours, lol.
it really needed a lift-off mechanism. Which are in the 2022
models btw.
ha ha indeed
they promised lifetime warranty too :)
I assume english is not your first language.
Don't worry the fawn survived
Aku juga khawatir coyote mati kelaparan
A eso le llaman un buen video?.siempre incompletos y dejando con la duda
👍 Interesting video
Hope the coyote got his snack
It is hard to watch but i would rather see it happen in nature when it is part of their life rather than have man just shooting it for the thrill of killing something.
