Bob Landis - Thieving Coyote

On March 21, 2005 Bob Landis was shooting video near Tower Junction. It was an overcast day with periodic snow flurries. He saw a lone wolf, a member of the Agate Creek Pack, just a bit uphill from an old carcass that had been pretty much picked clean. The wolf spotted a coyote that was far too close to the carcass. The wolf began running toward the coyote who decided to try to make off with a large piece of hide. The wolf didn't like that idea and gave chase. The coyote decided to drop the hide to make its escape.
