So do you think that coyotes like wolf pussy or the other way around? :)

As much as I love the still pics, the glowless Moultrie that followed me home from Gander Mtn is simply awesome in 90 sec video mode. Had mine out when Apple/pear trees were bearing a couple months ago....just totally cool videos of deer social interaction and other critters with awesome sound too SmileWavy.

Coyotes are getting to be a real issue all over the country. We have a farm in South Georgia.

Acres of corn, millet, winter wheat, peas and other grains are planted for the quail, turkey and deer. We hunt the property selectively to maintain a healthy ecosystem. We have resident bobcats, hawks and other predators that help keep the small mammals, snakes and wounded animals in check.
A few year back, the Coyotes started showing up more and more and the small game like rabbits and quail have basically disappeared. We now have a standing rule that all Coyotes are shot on site. We see quiet a few on trail cameras but it is not often that we see them in daylight.
This one was taken by a friend two weekends ago...never saw him before on a cam. For reference, the buck in the photo was 195lbs...the Coyote was a HUGE male.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1446400911.jpg

I was walking my dog last night and a coyote crossed 10 yards or so in front of me. My dog is 50 lbs and I am pretty ugly and menacing so he just went on his way. Sometimes a cougar or black bear will come into the neighborhoods but it's pretty rare.

Once in a while we see a loner coyote that looks unhealthy and is actively hunting mid day. They will sometimes approach and act aggressively. We let animal control handle those since they may be carrying disease. They set live traps and either relocate or euthanize based on their health condition and threat to humans.

Rick V, I was just kidding about shooting them. I've actually made domestic pets out of several. They make great family pets! Here's a picture of one playing with my dog. Here's another of one napping on my patio chair. :D

About 2 years ago I was driving thru an "Urban" area on the southside of Chicago(Roseland to be exact) and I had to come to a stop cause this giant "dog" ran directly in front of my car. I said "Holy S*** that no FN dog" Seconds later a Animal Control van crossed in front of me followed by a cop car, in hot pursuit of said "dog"

The things that struck me were A. how long its torso was B. how beautiful its coat was C. how in the f did it make to 119 and Wentworth?

Jerome that is an extremely rare photograph of a wolverine. About ten years ago I was hiking with my neighbours near Jasper, Alberta on the Skyline Trail and Barry my neighbour spotted a wolverine chasing a marmot(like a gopher) amongst a pile of rocks about 150 yards away. Apparently according to a documentary I saw(PBS I think) a wolverine can cover many miles a day. Looks like in your pic it is following a well travelled highway....
