That’s a little stout for a coyote in my exposure. It’s a coy-wolf or coy-dog, imho.
On my last pheasant hunt to N.W. Kansas, my buds flushed a coyote out of a plumb thicket that came right at me until it saw me then veered left and high tailed it out of the county. It wasn't a small coyote by any measure and was about the size of a large German Shepherd and white.........
As a side note, the farm house we stayed in was owned by the president of the only bank in town who was also a full time farmer and lived in their house in Logan.
He had a kennel of about 8 greyhounds, one of which was a mixture of greyhound, Russian Wolfhound and wolf. That was the biggest and most impressive dog I had ever seen. He used these dogs to hunt coyotes. Greyhounds are coursers, or sight hunters.
He had an old 4WD pickup that he removed the back bed and replaced it with a six dog kennel, 3 on each side, with drop down sides and windows that the dogs could stick their heads out. From inside the cab, he had a pull cord that once pulled, it would drop both sides of the rear kennel and release the dogs.
What he would do is drive the country roads looking for coyotes and once spotted, he would pull the kennel cord and drop the sides then it was off to the races with him trying to keep up with the dogs as they were chasing down the coyote..........
