Post by: KySongDog on February 16, 2010, 08:13:43 AM
This is pretty hard to believe.  Posted on the KY hunting site.  These guys killed a two legged coyote.

That there just show's the toughness of the coyote  :wink:.  They are truly an amazing animal that can take more than most to make them have a really bad day.  Thanks for sharing that Semp.

Wow!  That's really something.  I've seen several three legged coyotes in my years and three bobtailed ones, but that's the only two legged survivor I've ever heard of.  Makes a man wonder how it happened, front and back legs on opposite sides.  It would have been interesting to see how he moved and walked.  They are tough survivors.  Yes, thanks for posting it.

Hum, reckon he could've chewed his own legs off if caught in traps! Now even if that was the case makes ya wonder if he got caught twice or caught once with two different traps ... Or if he's dislexic he might've chewed the wrong leg off and said "Oh crap now I got to chew this one off too!" LOL!  :roflmao: :biggrin: :yoyo: :eyebrownod:

I have seen a couple of animals that managed to catch a bullet in two legs. They were done with 22 lr though. Iimagine a hunter got off what he thought was a good shot and just left it to die. Back leg looks like it is just now healing up good.

Ky law does not allow traps to be set that close to one another. And nearly all I know who trap use stakes instead of drags. They don't want to spend excess time searching for missing animals. And with that much excess chain to play with a coyote can power out of a trap. Jimmie

The odds would say, hit by motor vehicle  and lucky enough to survive.  :wo:


Or they do lucky coyote feet down there instead of rabbit feet, and harvest as they need them?  :sneer:

In farming country some summer pups (and fawns) in hayfields get legs cut off in hay mowing operations.  The opposite side legs missing on this one would probably make a bullet more likely.  

Also I've seen adult coyotes follow right behind the cutter bar when a farmer is cutting hay.  The coyote has learned to catch mice suddenly exposed by the cutting and will trot along within 8-10 feet of the man on the tractor.   I suppose there is some chance of one getting cut that way if he was ignorant enough to jump ahead of the cutter bar.  

The 2 legged coyote in the photo looks like it was not thriving but surviving.
