Title: COYOTE DOWN
Post by: pashok23 on December 14, 2020, 04:23:30 PM: Shot a coyote on Saturday, 1/3 of his jaw is missing and good chunck from the top including K9 and a few teeth. Looks like this years pop, as far as i know the area, no other predators are in the area besides coyotes. What you guys think happened to this coyote? Besides me killing him :chuckle:

Only other thought would be kicked/stomped by a deer or livestock.

Perhaps a long range shooter practicing his trade.
Either a complete miss or dead.

Maybe not!!!

I don't know about you but I certainly don't need to be a long distance to miss a coyote!

Ive seen a few critters with "this years" wounds and they don't look very pretty :twocents:

Post by: Stein on December 15, 2020, 08:04:23 AM: That's what I was thinking, looks pretty well healed up if it was an injury. Being on the mouth, a nasty infection would be nearly 100% guaranteed.
