Interesting piece on coyote-wolf hybrids.
Caught one in a snare on a fence line about 7 years ago that went 41.5 lbs- pretty big to be pure coyote.
Now THERE's a career path.
Hey DB & Ellendra - think about this one next time you have a difficult customer! :-)
Shouldn’t the govt put an end to this practice? After all, it is not natural, and may end with two species becoming extinct.....
Wilees?
One more thing to worry about!
Then we got coydogs, running in packs of 30 or so round n round the house chasing deer at 3 am.
Then we got broad daylight coydogs in pairs-
You only see the male who lets you see him in front of you as the female comes up behind you to jump you-
We never go in the woods without a couple of .44`s.
Yet another massive screw up caused by the environmentalist wackos.

***Coyotes in Mid-Atlantic “Here to Stay”***
Compound 1080 will take care of them. The DDT for coyotes!
Oh da#n. Both have been banned.
I wonder if the hybrids are what we are seeing in our area. They don’t “yip” as much at night as other coyotes I’ve heard and seen in the past.
“By the end of the 20th century, the versatile animal—which can eat almost anything, from shoe leather to fruit—had spread to nearly every corner of the U.S., even New York City.
The coyote is “one of the animals that will be left at the end, like the cockroaches, raccoons, and rabbits,” Bozarth said.”
It’s funny that this scientist doesn’t notice that the coyote had a limited range until it picked up the strategy of scavenging from modern human settlements and followed us as we colonized the continent. They might survive if we weren’t around, but they sure won’t be eating as good! It’s even more true for the roaches. The ones we are used to seeing are adapted to living with humans as much as housecats are, and they’d have a big lifestyle change in store if we weren’t here anymore.
Old Troy Landry of Louisiana has the answer.
Choot Em!
round here, btween the coydogs and the cats they are ripping the deer to pieces...![](http://advocacy.britannica.com/blog/advocacy/wp-content/uploads/coyote-1-300x254.jpg")
One that looked just like this "Eastern" coyote strolled through my backyard in eastern Wisconsin just last week. We were at the breakfast table and my husband said "Wolf!" because it was so big. But, then we decided it was a coyote. I've never seen one that big before. It was the size of a Belgian Shepherd. (the 4 footed kind)
Now I'm concerned about letting my Golden Retriever out unacompanied. The thing I remember the most vividly was this animal's coat and his fluffy tail. It was healthy and beautiful.
That is one really wolf-y looking coyote.
If I lived somewhere rural, I’d probably break down and splurge on some NVGs to take out coyotes and such.
Most of the coyotes here in New England are part wolf these days. They did a DNA test on one in NH and found out it was over 80% wolf DNA.
The deer population in some of the eastern states is extremely high, offering a new niche for the coyote-wolf to feed on.
Will it take market share from the Toyota Prius?
