The coyote had the stamina but the greyhounds had the shorter distance speed. At full speed the greyhounds would catch him and roll him. He would roll back on his feet and kept trucking. About the time the first group of hounds were gassed another truck load of hounds would be released. We followed the chase from the truck.
That SOB ran for nearly 2 miles before he had had enough. He backed up to a culvert at a dirt road intersection and let the dogs know he would take em on one at a time or all at once. We were parked about 20 ft from the action.
He would get get distracted by one dog and another would dart in and bite him on the ass. Finally, all the dogs jumped him all at once. He lost but he tore the living crap out of a bunch of dogs.
It was absolutely the worst thing I have ever seen. Would never do it again.

I am not usually
too critical of the DNR here in WI, but when they allowed hunting 'yotes by dog I thought it was a bad idea. They will have 3 dozen dogs and space them out so when one group gets tired a new group takes over.
The reason they started allowing it was the 'yotes were starting to run in packs taking livestock since there were so many and there wasn't enough normal food for them. There are far fewer now. Here they run 40-45 pounds.
