Never a confirmed kill, but I did see one daring daylight raid right in front of my house 2 summers ago. I just happened to be looking out my window and the cattle were loafing by the creek. I saw a coyote on the other side of the creek sneaking up in the tall grass towards a new calf. Kind of belly-crawling real slow. I ran for the rifle and just as I got outside one of the cows had sounded the alarm and my herd bull tore off through the creek after it before I could get a shot off. I think if it would have been dark, or the calf had been bedded down away from the herd, things could have ended differently.
About 5 years ago I had one calf "disappear" and for a few days afterward the herd took on a whole different personality. I was walking along the creek with my 6yo son and dog and the whole herd charged at us at full speed in a tight formation. Scared the heck out of me, but turns out they stopped about 30 feet away, inspected my dog, and started grazing again. It was really odd since she's out there every day, as am I. I can't say that a coyote killed that calf, but I know they ate it.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
