Title: Unique Coyote Pics
Post by: True Sportsman on December 26, 2010, 05:41:13 PM: About 5 years ago I called in an shot the coyote in the pics below. Its right front leg was completely gone and healed over. Its back left leg was deformed. The back leg was really small and non weight bearing. This coyote had 2 working legs and hobbled badly. After skinning him out, I could not see signs of being shot, all wounds were healed. His canine teeth were really worn down. I bet he was real old. I had his hide tanned and now hes on the wall. I bleached his skull too.

I'm curious if anyone has pics or has shot a "special coyote". 2 legged? 3 legged? Deformed?

I like seeing the unique stuff....

When you see them, you should take them out so they don't "teach" any others what they have learned.

Its mutual respect for a survivor.

She had both front paws severly deformed , almost looked like she had broken them at a early age .
The paws were folding back as she ran or should i say hopped in to the call .
She came to the call up a hill toward me , she was hopping like a rabbit , useing her hind legs to propel her forward .
She was real old , i would guess 6 to 8 years , almost no teeth left and skinny as all get out .
I almost felt bad about putting here out of her misery.
The strangest coyote i ever killed has a piece of pvc pipe around its neck , it looked like a coupling connector ? blue pipe , and its belly was orange still trying to figure that one out , looked like some type of chemical stain to me . this was real close to a bunch of orchards , have picture of it somewhere ill try to find it . My son called it the rainbow coyote , he was about 5 at the time .

That is pretty interesting. I kinda felt bad after I shot mine too. When I saw him hobbling, I assumed he was wounded. When I got up to him I couldnt believe how bad off he was. PVC around the neck is one i've never heard of... thanks for sharing.

Post by: littletoes on January 01, 2011, 08:32:08 PM: I'm guessing the bullet that tore the front leg off, also damaged the rear foot.

If I hadn't seen that very thing happen to a deer, by a guy that sighted in with different ammo than he hunted with, I'd have never guessed it.
