Not on that particular leap. The evening before I watched one successful hunt where the coyote laid down and took a nap after gulping down a couple of voles in short order. Here, I was hoping that he'd catch a ring-necked pheasant. (There was one hiding less than 20-feet from where it's hunting in this shot. Pheasant amaze me at how well they can hide in plain sight).
They seem to come up empty about 2/3d of the time. When they catch a vole (a mouse-like creature with a furry tail), they'll gulp in down in about three-seconds. They're well feed, as you can see. They've got voles, prairie dogs, pheasant, bugs and the occasional deer fawn to keep them fat and content.
