Black Coyote

[mikemc]

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.

i see them every now and again on the east side, never seen one on the west side. kinda weird lookin, not sure if there always 100% yote and got some domestic dog in em

That looks like someones German Shepherd.  I have never seen one in person.  Have seen pics of dead ones though.

My first thought was German Shepard as he was in field with some cows.  They started to chase him out of there field and there was no farmer any were around.  He had been running for a LONG time.  I am guessing he has been shot at a lot this past week.  He stopped just long enough to get this picture and then he was off.  He ran under that fence and straight up that hill behind him.  I would guess 1500 feet to the top.

That looks very much like a German sheperd to me.

Way to big to be a coyote, really looks like a black shepherd to me

[CAMPMEAT]

His head and ears are way to big to be a coyote. Too squarish of a face and his ears look too big. He looks out of purportion. His tail also looks the same way.

check his turds.. if its full of hair and or apples shoot it because its most likely a wild dog or crossbreed.   but maybe try checking missing dog posters and calling him like you would a normal dog first.

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.

[Ironhead]

Is that a Black Shepard or a Bobcat

[Jellymon]

Dont shoot! not a yote. Waist too small, chest too big and all the other points people have made.

[Michelle_Nelson]

Definitely NOT a coyote.  I have had a couple black coyotes in my shop.

[GEARHEAD]

lol, thats a Dog.

[ICEMAN]

Chupacabra? 

[mikemc]

It must be a wild dog because there has been a few people in the area that have seen this animal running with a pack of coyotes.  So it could be a wild dog.  They way it was acting and running sure looked like a coyote to me.
