well today i took the girl on a fourwheeler ride skimming around for sheds on trails...we saw 8-10 deer no antlers and a coyote....the coyote let us get withing a few yards of it and it ran very very slow and had terrible mange im guesssing it had something really wrong with it...if i had something to shoot it with i would have any thing it may have been?
Wild coyotes are extremely shy... the fact that you got that close leads me to think something was definitely wrong with it.
