Crow and Coyote both. Both tricksters. Both chary of having bits of their souls taken.
I've not tried with Crow, but Coyote taught us a lesson in Canada. We were driving along a remote twisting mountain road near Jasper when he popped out of the forest with something bloody in his mouth. We slowed to a crawl looking at him. He looked at us briefly then continued to lope along the road, supper in jaws.
We reached for the camera. Coyote glanced up at us and the camera refused to work. We pressed the shutter release several times to no avail. Eventually he hopped over the low concrete wall at the side of the road and headed back into the forest. As he did so the camera took a picture of the inside of the car, with fingers nowhere near the button. Permission was definitely not granted.
