Doe Loses Life in Brave Fight with Coyotes Near Fish Lake
A 13 coyotes hunt ends in tragedy as a blacktail doe, coming from Salmon lake toward Fish lake in Blackfoot country, fights through crusted two foot snow. The struggle lasts about a mile with hide and hair torn, leaving the deer mortally wounded in a ditch by the stream where she bleeds to death. Local fishermen later find her body in the water, as hunters report coyote predation is a common winter danger in western Montana.
