is as good as mine! In all the years I've used trail cameras to document wildlife, I've mostly seen that they sometimes 'notice' the camera - wildlife may look at it or smell it, but in only one other occasion did they bite at it like this coyote. The other time was a javelina. My best guess is that they see and un-natural object that smells quite different and have to test it...
