    I got this guy on a trail camera in SE Ohio.


    My guess is that it's a black color-phase coyote. Agree or disagree? I've never seen a black one in the wild before, but I know they do exist in this area. A rarity, to be sure.

    As a point of reference, here's a yearling buck standing a bit closer to the camera.

    Looks like a coyote to me, sure would be a nice one to shoot this winter when he's all furred out!

    Maybe if the king had better cameras we would be able to tell what it is?

    The King is a low-roller. He can barely afford batteries to keep his cameras running. :cry:

    heck thats cause the king uses a camera that gets like 15 pics per set of 4 D cell batteries, upgrade and live the miller high life!:cool:

    Cool pic, but it looks exactly like my sisters dog....the only thing that has me thinking coyote is the bushiness of the tail. Who knows.:confused:

    Hey man, I've been getting 3+ weeks and 400+ pictures per camera out of each set of 4 el-cheapo Rayovac C-Cell batteries. Not too shabby for a $40 camera.

    I was JK, I have the same cam, and got the same results. I now get 10x that on AAs....but like you point out, the camera is alot more money too.


    What's the final decision, yote or dog el King?
