Not a coyote. I drew down on what I thought was a coyote in the last big winter we had. It was snowing REALLY HARD sideways,  but when I had him all lined up (425 out), I pulled off. Something wasn't right. His ears were just a little too pointy, and his tail wasn't held quite right. Glad I did, I headed down to him, and as i got closer, I realized he had a leather collar on. I whistled him in and did some investigation and got him back to his house. German Shephard. I'd have felt horrible if I'd off'd him.

P.S. German Shephard owners... keep your dogs inside during snowstorms in the cattle country of the Palouse. I had taken up about 8 of the 10 ounces my trigger needed to send Sparky to the big doghouse in the sky.

Hi,  Did a little image adjusting on your picture and looks like a German Shepard.   But could be a wild/feral one based on its actions.   Hope this helps.

def NOT a purebred coyote. Might have a little in him.  Interesting.   I have seen two black coyotes.  One a couple years in a row by my house.  Smart bugger as he managed to not get killed.

Saw this guy today.  First time I have seen a black on before.  How many people here have seen them?   I am going to go out and try and call him in a few weeks after things settle down.

Thats a dog. Coyotes tails hang straight. No curl. It's also too tall, chest waaaayyyyy to big, legs too long. ears too big. Its a doggy.

 :yeah:  im with GP, curved tail,  ears, and size make me think ferral dog or coy-dog.

I hunted the same black coyote three winters in a row, smartest dang animal I have ever went up against. He would hide under fence corners (that were dark railroad ties) as he blended in. And while his two counterparts would lay out in the open on the snow, he ALWAYS laid up on a dark rock. Spotted him several times on public land over three years and while I could have killed his packmates, the closest shot I ever got would have been around 750 yards. I have killed dogs out to 600, but wasn't willing to push him out of the area, too rare of a trophy, in my book. Didn't see him last February, hope he's still around, although I doubt it.
