Nice double lung shot.  He painted the snow for probably 60' before dropping.  One of the nastier wounds I've seen.   

Should've stuck with stray cats,  we don't tolerate anything that messes with SWMBO's horses.

We get all sorts of critters in the back yard. We've seen a fox several times this year. I hear yotes all the time that sound real close and I've. Seen them a few time down by my pond. The wife saw what she believed was a bobcat last week crossing the garden.
I haven't managed to see one yet but there have been multiple credible reports of mountain lions in the area and my dad jumped one up 7-8 years ago that he says looked like it was watching me mow the pasture.

The story is they crossed with wolves grey ones if i remember right. Very different temperament. Beautiful animals.

Not saying the story is incorrect, but grey wolf/coyote mix would be a 50-80lb critter.

....this could be useful. 

I would want to make an except for Mr. Wyle E. Coyote. 

Well, he *IS* a SUUUUUUUUUU-per Genius. Of course you'd want to make an exception for him!

Besides, he's really quite resilient. Shoot him in the face, and he just gets all blackened around the muzzle. That's one tough yote.

Has the Oklahoma F&G finally admitted to cougars in the state? Way back when (late 60's) I was out dove hunting by Apache, OK when I stepped around a tree and came face to face with a cougar using a tree for a scratching post. He looked at me, I looked at him and started backing slowly away and when he was finished he went on his way. All I had was a single shot 12g with bird shot, way undergunned. When I reported the encounter I was told in no uncertain terms that there were no cougars in Oklahoma. I knew better. I also think I saw the tail end of one crossing the road on Ft Sill in the late 90's, wasn't too sure because it was quick and all I really saw was the long tail.

They've acknowledged they are here, but only in the last 10 year or so. They kind of had their hand forced when one was treed on the outskirts of Tulsa and it was all over the news. They do however state that they are most likely just "passing through".

If they are male, that is more than likely true. They get pushed out of the Black Hills and Rockies by the dominate male, they just keep traveling following food and looking for love.

We have some in Iowa now, only been one female killed the rest have been male. More than likely followed the Missouri River here. Historically they were found just about everywhere in the US, so I don't find it all that strange.

We've had yotes in our burb ever since I moved here.  Now we have bobcats, too.  Both prefer to stay near the creek beds.  I have no doubt they get lots of kitty cats. 

Even have a fox near the kids' school. 

For my own part, I don't mind them.  Every one I have seen has high-tailed it out of there.  Let them eat rats. 

If I were in the country, I would shoot on sight, though, to protect my livestock.

Coyotes, bobcats, and foxes are common in the Trinity river bottom just south of downtown.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Problem is they aren't the same as the western coyotes. They are a coyote/wolf hybrid, and from what I've seen they aren't as scared of people as they should be.

The Illinois DNR kept denying there were Mountain Lions/Cougars in Illinois.  Until one went walk-about in Chicago.  Hilarity ensued.

Same with Wolves, until three were shot and pictures posted on the Interrtubez by the hunters.

I have a friend who swears he saw a wolf in the Palos Forest preserve system. He know coyotes and is an avid outdoorsman.

The size, demeanor and gate all screamed wolf to him. He allows for a possible coy dog but it looked like a wolf to him.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Ha ha, a coyote started yipping what sounds like close to the house just as I was reading this thread. :)

I should get off my butt and break out the NVG to see if I can spot him.
