I guess it's safe to say it here: A prime coyote from a cold climate is one of the most beautiful furs I've ever seen.
DH is having a coyote cape hat made, as I type. A friend shot a Grey Fox the other day. That is one beautiful pelt, too! This pix doesn't do them justice, but it was the only sample I could find.
We have coyotes by us, but we're on a farm surrounded by thousands of acres of woods and fields, so they don't come close to the house. I do see plenty of coyote scat when I walk my dogs in the "Rabbit Factory" area. ;)
