Rick223 showed up this morning at the crack of dawn and we decided to slip out and make stand.
Check this out, I aint...I say I aint never seen anything like this from a coyote. I've seen it on beaver tracks etc though.
Rick said his worms were tickling him or he had bad case of Hot Butt. :roflmao:

Looks like he might of been dragging his lunch along with him.
Ah man I cant believe I didnt think of that :doh2:
:confused: Are you sure those are coyote tracks?? :laf: :laf:
I agree with Ed. :yoyo:
Man it could be several things but none are for sure with what is presented. <----Man that almost sounds smart. :biggrin:
You know Jim, some days critters act just like humans. Maybe it was a loooong night and a few too many drinks. :shck:
Jerry
Is that near water?....otter slide?

Yeah they were easily coyote tracks. As far as the water, yea there was water near but it's not really in the fluid form most of the time. Today it was.
It was probably 25-30 feet from some water where the pic was taken, but the whole trail was over a hundred yards. I just finally decided to take a pic where we did.
This thing drug the entire outside edge of the woodline. We followed it all the way out of the woods where it started in some good bedding, sporadic, dead, weed patches.
I'm going with Hot Butt, its got a nice ring too it. :laf:
That interesting :confused:
Maybe he was gettin some.......... :laf:
Yeah and she was gettin tired :roflmao:
My 2nd guess was Jim Champion doing The Worm......I hear hes a good dancer..... :dance:
what I dont git is why the yote tracks and the "drag" diverge so much near that growth of brush, and why there are two seperate entities in the form of the drags, yet only one set of the supposed tracks?
Maybe he was just scratching his balls, I have the urge to do that sometimes, especially when when the wife is out and I'm sitting in the recliner on a Sunday afternoon in my underwear drinking a couple beers and watching a boring football game on the TV????
Jim
I wonder if hes gunna be known as Ole Assdragger, the Ghost Coyote.....like Ole 3-Toes the grizzle bar?.....
"HE DRAGGED HIS ASS OVER 3 COUNTIES, BUT NO HUNTER COULD TAKE HIM DOWN, THE LEGEND OF OLE ASS-DRAGGER"
Did anyone think to follow the tracks to see what was at the end of the story....?
:confused: No.....I wish I would have, it never dawned on either one of us. :huh:
Of course we did you numbskull! :roflmao: :rolleye: :wink: :biggrin:
If you look at the pic, you'll see dirt and rock on the left side that isn't snow covered. We had like a three day streak here with temps in the forties and high winds, so it really dwindled the 12-16 inches of snow we had.
That bare spot on the left of the pic is actually protected by a two lane bridge. Thats where the tracks lead, but he stopped draggin his money maker under there.
The little creek was only about 4 feet wide and averaged 6" inches in depth this time of year, when not froze solid. The whole creek bed sorta speak is actually a drainage ditch that comes down out of these bluffs and heads to the Mississippi, which was roughly 700 yards away.
numbskull!!!???
I did not leave the battery door open.......
I just assumed that .......you laughed and said ass dragger!!! and ran to your lap top...... :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Are those coyote tracks? Could be Dog. :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Ok, you got me on the battery door :doh2: :laf: But yeah they were coyote tracks
food, worms, dog-tie ? I've seen some domestic dogs tied for some time gettin drug around, usually its the bitch draggin the stud. Poor fella's cant ever get a break.
now thats dragging azz :laf:
I don't buy the AssDragger. :noway: It would have had paw prints down the center of the drag marks. :doh2:
Could the possibility instead be that something was caught under the bridge (beaver?) then tugged to the bedding area to be consumed?
You assume since the toes pointed in that direction that that was the way it was headed toward the bridge. :shrug:
Very little snow, marks where the feet were draggin in the snow indicating very short legs....no prints in the middle....OTTER................. :innocentwhistle:
I dont think it was an Otter.
Two reasons;
- They weren't Otter tracks.
- For what little snow there was and how short the actual leg drags were, doesn't necessarily mean the things had short legs. A coyote curls it's wrist underward as it walks, and uncurls it as it finishes the stride and sets it back down. There's your small short scuffs leading into each track.
Looks like a 6 legged coyote to me........ :innocentwhistle:
Theres a clear scuff mark on the right with no corresponding footprint...its a tail....... :biggrin:
Aint no coyote drags his feet in 1/4 inch of snow!!!!!
P.S. PLEASE DONT BAN ME JIMBO IM JUST YANKING YOUR CHAIN.......OR DRAGGIN YOUR CHAIN, AS THE CASE MAY BE..... :bowingsmilie: :biggrin: :wink: :eyebrow: :yoyo:
You know me better then that. :nono:
Why'd you ban him?
"Cause the bastid didn't agree with me."
What kind of a forum administrator would that make me? A redfrog? :roflmao:
Is that all there is. Just about 30' of drag marks? Maybe it was a young one that had it's butt whipped & as it came thru there once again it remembered it had been there before & it wasn't a pleasant experience. Or maybe it ran into a more dominant dog right there & that was it's submission walk outta Dodge. :shrug: The other dog coulda been off to the right where no tracks would be seen. Just a paint thinner induced thought. :laf: :laf:
And you blame me for replying before thoroughly reading a topic. :innocentwhistle:
