3 leg coyote

KySongDog · December 03, 2006, 08:05:24 PM

I shot this 3 leg coyote a week or so ago while deer hunting. Pure luck that I saw him before he saw me. The left rear leg was completely gone. Fur covered the hip area where the leg should have been. The dog weighed about 40-45 lbs or better based on the fact I had to drag him to the four wheeler. There was a mate running with him that looked identical except for 4 legs. Couldn't cycle the bolt on my 243 fast enough to get a shot off at it though. Now if I could just learn to call 'em in......

Thought this might be something a little different to take a look at.

FinsnFur, Here's the only other pic I have of it.

Sorry if I shot your dog, Straycat. Do Labs have pointy ears and bushy tails too?

Maybe this is a coyote/lab mix coydog or something. His nose was not as pointy as I've seen on some. His teeth were chipped and wore down so I figure he was pretty old. There was another one with him that looked almost the same but smaller.

Mannnnn that is doggy looking.
Where ya at Semp. Are you really near the Texas/Mexico Border?

FinsnFur · December 03, 2006, 10:35:17 PM

My mistake......your in Kentucky right?

KySongDog · December 04, 2006, 02:43:41 AM

Yep, I'm in West KY. Where I hunt the wombats don't even go.

Real thick stuff bordering old reclaimed strip mine land. Like I said in my very first post, I'm a NOOBIE at this whole predator hunting thing. Deer and turkeys are what I do best. Looks like my coyote career is getting off to a ...uhm...shakey start.

When I saw pointy ears and bushy tails working into the wind just inside the tree line, my brain said coyote and then I felt recoil.

Yes, pullleeeze...by all means, post a pic! When the talk turned to Labs and dogs, I was praying SOMEONE would hijack this thread and fast!

Semp, I thought I had a picture showing the three legged dog but I don't. Sorry, about that.

Now back to this funny look coyote you got. That sucker does favor a dog, anyone think this may be a coy dog?

Three legs and still fast enough to catch things to eat. No wonder they are spreading everywhere.

Did you say you was in the kentucky area because a friend of mine deer hunts somewhere in kentucky and told me a few weeks ago they see several coy dogs.
