What did the coyote catch? I really can't decide.

If the date on the picture is correct I would bet it’s a fawn.
We all need to shoot and trap more coyotes.

That is a tough one, it is really hard to see what that is. I would agree, thinking fawn deer.

When I blow the pic up, it looks like the critter has a tail. I caught some coons around my sweet corn somewhere around that time frame, and thinking back, I'm wondering if the yote found one of them and is taking it back to its den.

Thinking fawn too. The front legs look long on the caught critter (assuming it's head down), also a long ear pointing towards yotes chest?

Fox kit??

Black stockings on its legs?

My first impression was raccoon, I have come back to the thread three times to look at the picture and I still think that it is likely a raccoon. The general outline/shape of the animal certainly looks like a coon rather than a fawn which would have a longer neck and head.

Cat?

^^^ I'm going with this^^^

To me it looks like adult coyote transporting young coyote to new location.
But I don’t know if they do that or not.

I’d say a raccoon, hard to tell

I'm gonna go with either a fox or a ground hog. I think coons are more nocturnal.

My first impression is a young coon, second choice is fox, third choice is house cat.

Coons tend toward being nocturnal, but I've seen many out and about in the daytime. From where I'm sitting right now, I can frequently see coons out in the marsh at low tide, looking around for something to eat.

It might be a smaller coon or it might be carrying its pup. It appears to have it by the top of the scruff of the neck but it is hard to tell.

I see it being too red for a coon.

Right now we are seeing a lot of coons out and about a few hours before dark.

Momma teaching the little ones.

I agree with you on the color. It does look to red for a coon.

AcesNeights, agreed, It might also be carrying its pup. I didn't think about that.

Infant Yeti, for the win!!!

Looks to me to be her pup….but it could just as easily be a young fox.

I’d vote groundhog personally. Color is right.

It's her pup. Pups would be right at weenin age that time of year.

That my was thought as well.

It's not uncommon to see dogs and cats and raccoons and stuff carrying their litter around. I don't think this is any different.

It's Nancy Pilosi!
