Lamar Canyon Alphas


There was a new carcass today at Hitching Post near the confluence of the Lamar River and Soda Butte Creek. An unfortunate bull elk was hit by a vehicle and the rangers dragged the body out a ways and then marked off the area. There were at least 6 coyotes at one time today and then later in the afternoon all 6 members of the Lamar Canyon Pack briefly passed through but didn't come to the carcass and looked to cross the road but were stopped by cars that had stopped to watch them. They turned around and went back into the brush and to the river where they had a deer trapped mid stream. That was the last we saw of them today. 

This was my first close-in sighting of the pack for months and they are all in prime condition with no signs of the mange on 926 or Little T. The picture of the Alphas was shot at about 300 yards away and cropped so it's not very good but should give you an idea of what they look like.
