Coyote

Last year, we had several places around the golf course that had ropes to deter golf cart traffic.  Every morning we would come in to work there would be several sections that had been cut during the night.  I just knew that we had a kid (or even disgruntled golfer) coming out at night and using scissors to cut the ropes.  I stayed out on the course several evenings late into the night trying to get a glimpse of the culprit, but never had any luck.  Each morning brought the same result.  Almost perfectly centered between each stake the rope would be cut cleanly like a razor blade had been used.  Finally, we purchased a deer camera and set it up behind #1 green.  The first night, the only rope cut was the one behind the camera.  We decided that he had seen our camera and was now simply toying with us.  However, the next night the camera snaps this picture and we have our bandit.  Mr. Wile E.

Here are more coyote pics as well as some other critters we caught on camera last year.
