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.
