Fascinating!
Siotwo--are you sure that the "buckyote" pic is not a Photoshop job? Both critters are in such perfect focus, and yet the grass they seem to be standing in is not in focus. Just wondering.

Well, IF
the Buckyote pic is real, it is mildly amazing!

In the first picture, the edges on the deer look really funny. Look closely at the antlers. If it is real though, that's a great picture.
Edit: The coyotes' front feet look weird too.

There are pictures at my local DNR range of a black bear and buck gettin' into a tussle.
The story behind the pictures are the buck had just been hit by a car, ran down the ravine and was standing in the middle of a small, shallow pond.
The bear saw an easy lunch. I think the people taking the picture ran the bear off (I can't remember the whole story) but it's pretty neat to see the bear and buck both standing on their hinde legs swatting at eachother.
I doubt he'll let me, but I'll ask the range master if he'll let me bring them home for a scan. If not, I'll see if he can some how get me a copy.

I'm pretty sure I've heard of that story before, I might have actually seen a video of it on the news. Could be wrong though.
I have pictures of when I saw a coyote chasing a doe in a field. The doe jumped into a brook, where it had an advantage over the coyote. I ended up goin down there and chasing off the coyote while the deer stood in the brook, exhausted, totally out of breath, barely able to stand. I went back to my truck, got a camera, and walked back to find that the deer had caught its breath. As soon as I got to the edge of the brook, she bolted down stream. I have I think one picture of her running down the brook. I'll try to dig it up and scan it.

The photo of the deer and coyote looks real to me - if you look at the grass at the same distance as they are, it is in focus (unlike grass behind/in front)... and I'd guess they are both looking at the photographer, since there are no trees/brush in sight between camera lens and critters.
Why do people think this is a fake?

Well I'm not sure it's fake. But the coyote! If that coyote was looking at the photographer he would be looking straight at he camera. Not off to the side.
The potographer would have to be making lots of noise for the deer and coyote not be looking at each other. Just my guess

Here is one of two little guys nose to nose... I think it's real, because both look scared *lol*
And a wolf meeting a deer in winter, perhaps thinking hungry thoughts:
Some especially beautiful wolves sniffing antlers:
Assuming the picture in the first post is real, I don't think that lone coyote would stand a chance attacking that buck - the buck is much larger, and I would think would just kick his face in if there were a tussle.
P.S. I wonder how the elk worked out as a beast of burden. Probably not so hot, as it never seemed to catch on

Nice Pix!
Carbine Caleb--These last 3 are NICE! And I have no reason to suspect any of the 3. They each present a very natural occurence.
I agree w/the observation that a single coyote wouldn't stand much of a chance against a full-grown healthy buck. Probably get his a** kicked--and a whole lot of other places too.
Re the elk rider--One hears of something like this once in a great while. If the elk was taken as fawn and raised in a barn with horses, and the temperaments of the elk and the human just happened to click, I can imagine it. But not often.
I recall having seen photos of a cow, and of a bison, being ridden with a saddle like that.

Animals like coyote, fox, etc will "scope out" anything that might be a possible meal. The effects on the image apear to be from the JPEG used to compress the image. Might have been a high power camera lens. Person I know from church is a profesional photographer. She has an 8MP camera *drool* that is very nice. Some of her lenses will do what that first photo has. Subject focused perfectly, everything in front of and behind is lightly out of focus. IIRC it was with her high power lenses that did that.

If the buckyote photo is a "photoshop job", it's done pretty well. I examined it just for fun in one of my own programs and I can't see much that would indicate doctored up edges that would normally show in a cut 'n paste job. Pretty sure it's real. As for the elkrider... Hmm. Where's that bull's other leg? hidden behind those gawdy stirrups? Maybe...
