Melanistic Coyote?

[jshouse]

I have seen a lot around here at home. This one could be mixed with domestic dog and was roughly 4 miles from our place. My Dad watched 6 black coyotes at one time on top of a hay bail at our farm.

that is a puppy dog.

Mount that sucker!!!!!

This. It'd look great on your mantel!

I bet it identifies as a labradoodle.

I’ve seen a black one and a white one in Navarro before they were running with a pack of regular yotes.

Definitely a coyote. I saw one in Edwards county a few years back. Would have thought it was a dog too at first but it was hanging with a normal color phase coyote.
I think when one of these breeds with a mountain lion we get black panthers but I’m no biologist.

Blahaha!!!!

Melanistic yote. I killed one in Gregg Co. Supposed to pick it up this month from the taxi.

Sounds like you better hurry and get him to the taxidermist before that happens and he moves away.

I'd love to get a black coyote. I'd take that over any deer,any day of the week.

Yes! Unfortunately sad but true. I we have been practicing 400 yard shots to be able to get him or the mahogany ones. He is never ever stil. He is very hard to see in the fresh plowed black clay.

[simmentalover]

Looks like they were well within range?

These pics were taken with the largest camera lensi have. He was 300-400 yards away depending on which picture you are looking at.

[simmentalover]

Great pictures! what did you use to take them?

Cannon Rebel T-3. With 75-300mm lens. He was 3-400 yards Away.

I just read an article published in July 2017 stating DNA research has proven three is no such thing as the red wolf. That the Red wolf proven to only be a mixture of Gray wolf and coyote. Wish I could get a hair sample tested.

I seen one just like that a few years ago when I hunted in Milam. It was walking a creek bottom early one morning and I never could get a shot on him
