Black Coyote

JohnP · September 18, 2009, 10:53:15 PM

In all my years of calling I have never seen a black coyote. I'm interested in any sightings you guys may have had of any. I would really like to get one before I hang my guns up. Have gun will travel.

I've seen one. It lived in the edge of Vernon, BC for two winters that I know of during the early-80's. Most of the coyote hunters knew about it and I saw it a few times on snowy fields. Too mixed in with houses and small fields on the edge of town to legally shoot a firearm. Don't know if any bow hunters tried for it but I never heard of anyone killing it. There seem to be more black ones in the southeastern US.

I have seen 2. One was dang near jet black, I was feeding cows and I couldn't get my truck stopped fast enough to get a shot. The following year I jumped one while moving a bunch of cows. It was a charcoal color, I tried like heck to run him down horseback and get a rope on him but he had too much of a lead on me. I haven' seen one since. That has been 6 years ago.
I have however caught one with a rope before

....gets pretty western in a hurry

I have seen one while hunting......Very brief and no way I could shoot.......Seen another one while driving to my uncles farm And of course we got a real good look at it as we were not allowed to hunt there.....

Come on out to South Carolina. I have had pretty good luck with them around here. I have called up a total of 7 of them. Though they are not an everyday sight but I do get at least one a year.

One morning I called up two on different farms. Choked the shot on the second one but did manage to get one of them. I have plenty of pictures if anyone is interested.

I have seen one here and I didn't even have a gun or a camera and heard talk of another one about 20 miles from me

WOW Semp that's a nice looking black one. CF.223 I have a good friend near Ft Jackson that I haven't seen in years may have to go visit. Are you near there?

centerfire_223 · September 19, 2009, 03:50:32 PM

I don't know exactely where Fort jacson is at but I don't think it is to aweful far. Heck one end of the state to the other is only 5 hours.

Seems like there was a black one posted on here about a year ago, maybe CCP? I have seen one solid black coydog I couldn't get a shot at, and a black coyote I killed. The picture doesn't do it justice as it appears dark grey. It was black as hell lying on the snow. Here he is:

Fort Jackson is near Columbia about a 2 1/2 hr drive from Ronnies.cc

centerfire_223 is still wearing the Championship belt for black coyotes.
In fact before your time JohnP, there was quite a comical commotion going on in here as one of the call makers that was providing centerfire_223 with custom calls, decided to name the one that was calling all the black coyotes, the "crackpipe". :roflmao:

centerfire_223 · September 19, 2009, 07:46:08 PM

I named that call Jim.

That call has called up coyotes from New Mexico to South Carolina. That is one AWESOME sounding call.

I was going to show a picture of it but I can't find photobucket. Is it still there?

possumal · September 19, 2009, 10:05:12 PM

Yeah, still there. The picture of the black coyote I posted was on there.

He would be easy for you to rope now.

weedwalker · September 20, 2009, 05:42:56 AM

Ronnie, You got some pics of black ones? Let's see 'em.
