Sometimes you see a picture – or, in this case, conceptualize the contents of a picture – and you know, “well that’s just gotta be a photoshop.”
So when I heard that there was a picture of coyotes (like, of the actual, wild variety, not the Wile E. or the Phoenix hockey variety) at Wrigley Field, I knew there was some photoshop joke there.
But not so. Photographer Will Byington was in Wrigleyville late Saturday night when word started circulating around the Cubby Bear that there were coyotes prowling around outside. So he grabbed his camera, and boom, magnificence:
(Kudos to Will Byington for the quick trigger – hit up his photography site as a thanks.)
Coyotes in suburban (and, in this case, borderline urban) Chicago is apparently not completely atypical, but you don’t usually see them roaming the streets looking for food/scalping Cubs tickets.
The picture is, of course, ripe for captioning, so give it a go if you’d care to. Otherwise, just enjoy the picture.
Wrigley has long been a hang out for cougers. It is only natural that coyotes have followed suit.
heard “willing to eat contracts”, dont know what that is, but we are ssoooo !@$#ing down.
Is Jim Hendry still here? We hear he’ll give anyone 50 million and a notrade clause.
The coyotes were checking out Wrigley……..salivating and taking in the lingering death in the air from the 2012 season. Next the vultures will be circling and perched on the top of the scoreboard.
Coyotes attracted by the deuce the Cubs left on the field in 2012
That is too cool.
“This has gone on for too long! Where’s that damn goat!”
Hey
Maybe, just maybe, the coyotes will finally put an end to that goat.
Hey leave us goats out of it my great great great papa goat was dragged there ITS NOT OUR FAULT
Quick someone find a place that serves Old Style. And they say Hamm’s is the “Bear refreshing…”
They look just like the ones I shot with my bow earier this year, must be a cubs fan thing.
Nice. I have never shot a coyote period, but may give it a try this winter after I get a new rifle. That’s awesome that you took one(s) with a bow. I’ve thought of it a few times sitting in the tree stand.
I wonder if they can pay third ?
I hear the bears offensive line can’t protect there cubs well
Stage one of Wrigley renovation: Add a petting zoo.
We heard there were Goats. Where did they go?
No really, there used to be bears here!
Finally the good stadium is empty. We have to stay in the Cell during the summer.
There was a cougar shot by Chicago Police two years ago one mile or so west of Wrigley. A DNA test showed it was from South Dakota.
Is this where Theo said the tryouts are? I heard him say my dog can hit better than these guys.
The Cubs hred a deer for a hitting coach. Maybe the coyotes want to apply for third and first base coaches.
This is not by me, i would never write that, but worth a reading: http://deadspin.com/5963323/?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
Thanks for the Info Jan 42:
No truer statement has ever been spoken,then the one below:
“Coyotes do not fear death, but there are things worse than death at Clark and Addison”
I see them fairly frequently close to my house. Of course, I live in the wilderness that is Rockford.
Here too Phil. I’ve never thought of them as something out of the ordinary, but I have always lived in smaller towns.
Maybe they’ll get our goat
The Coyotes must not know how shitty the food at Wrigley is.
“I hear the rats in this joint are tasty!”
we got kicked out of Pheonix…will play 3rd for food
