Hi there. My dad called to tell me about this. He called DNR who said he wasn't the first one to call. They weren't going to send anyone out bc the ice could be unsafe and they weren't going to call the fire dept as that us not their job. They did say they were going to send a tech out there with firecrackers- I kid you not- and try to scare the coyote off. However the deer carcass will still be there.

Hovering a few hundred metres away was a large Reddish Coyote which was reluctant to go near it with myself and another vehicle parked watching it. It eventually left, I assume it would return after things quieted down or after dark whichever came first. > > Couldn't stick around due to an appointment, but will try to swing by tomorrow to see if there is any activity around the carcass. It looked like a whole animal, not just the pelt etc.. that a hunter would be getting rid of. > The red colour and large size made me wonder about the Red Wolf species in Algonquin Park and if this was an off shoot of it or something. Pretty cool to see in any event. > > Lots of birds around the feeders today, mainly Redpolls, Goldfinches and Pine Siskins. Plus Red and White Breasted Nuthatches, B.C. Chickadees, Downy, Hairy Woodpeckers, 17 Mourning Doves, though it looks like the resident ducks seem to have flown the coop with the lake being mostly frozen over now. > > Cheers, > Gary Murray > Tucker Lake, > Beaverbank NS > >
