def looks like german shepherd mix
X2, that is what I am seeing.I just see a mutt,,,,,
Had coyote vocalizations, was wild as hell (that's a quote from the individual that caught it), coloration around the middle was that of a coyote, fur was the consistency of a coyote, and two wildlife biologists agree this was a coydog.
Had all of that and the tail of a domestic dog?Had coyote vocalizations, was wild as hell (that's a quote from the individual that caught it), coloration around the middle was that of a coyote, fur was the consistency of a coyote, and two wildlife biologists agree this was a coydog.
They're fairly common my way.
. Drove by a trailer park about a week ago and there was a pack of dogs sunning in the road. All looked wild with no collars.
probably some red wolf in there as well
Probably not near Monroe....according to last years in depth study and interviews regarding the range of red wolves....took me about 6 months.
Looks like .......Shepherd mixSo this is the first case of anybody I know of capturing a true coydog. It was trapped in NC around the Monroe area.View attachment 43672
One dog handle 100? You wouldn't be embellishing that a little would you?
My friend is starting to trickle in his annual pics in from upper Il. No shooting, all catch and kill, he is at 144+- right now and they run into coydogs fairly often right up against the suburbs. These three handle singles and doubles with ease, he never turns out singles. Always at least doubles. For size reference that tallest girl is 6'.
These are this years pups, but they already know what they are doing.
It is a big thing in the midwest, heck many of the fancy trucks have remote controlled doors on the rig boxes. They ride around see 'em in the fields and take off and when they get within a half mile or so they slam on brakes and pop the hatches and out the dogs go after the 'yotes.
Wouldn't work here, you get a 2 acre landowner in the middle of a square (one square mile) fussing about dogs. Up there once the deer season goes out they have thousands of acres to do it on, they want them killed. The boy that sends me the pics is a grain buyer and knows most of the farmers for miles and miles, he has almost unlimited permission. Heck in the upper end of Il a tree is pretty hard to come by. LOL
