Coyote?

[ChickenHawk]

This has been popping up on my neighbor's trail cam behind our houses. Is this a coyote, hybrid, or dog?

Check for empty Acme packages, detonators, fuses, anvils etc

Coyote. A very healthy one.

Coyote. The non traditional coats are cool looking.

 

[Inglis]

Great target practice for deer hunting.

 

[Climberman]

Definitely a coyote.

 

[Infamous1]

Yote..... that color phase would make a cool mount!!

 

[Tailhunter]

Black yote.
Very cool.

Choot it

Interesting read on the genetics of Eastern Coyotes.

Yes, eastern coyotes are hybrids, but the ‘coywolf’ is not a thing

It’s an amazing evolution story happening in our backyards and forests – should this wily canid be called the eastern coyote a ‘coywolf’?

My take away, it seems it is pretty common for Eastern Coyotes to have a small percentage of both wolf and dog DNA from crossing decades or more ago.

Cerberus.


That's no culvert.

If I had a suppressor I'd wait up for it. It seems like between 8-10pm are when it typically trots through there. There is a regular one running through there as well. Not many clear shots with the house placements.

Just need one clear shot and vanish before the Karen informed police show up. Moving on

Black coyote. Been a while since i have seen one like that.

Yup. Black yote.

I caught one on cam last year at our Wilkes Co property. Never saw him again though.

Oh it is tempting. I need to get a cheap night vision setup for stuff like that.

This one has been running through there about once a week at least since October. There is a fox that must be eating well along that creek bed. It is constantly there.

Where are you in Burlington? I have a friend on the lake in Mebane that has seen one just like this for the last few weeks.

I'm right near the intersection where Univeristy Boulevard turns into Webb Avenue, and 87 crosses meets them at the Town of Elon sign.
