"Looks like a lean,summer time,Arizona coyote to me"
I did not punctuate with any funny faces,smileies or use any goading language.Upon seeing the photo, I posted what came to mind....period. Some of my posts contain such language AND intent, but these are in response to threads that warrant that type of answer.Yours, was not one of those kind,you asked an honest question,I gave a ten word honest answer.
And yes, I have seen a few Arizona coyotes, even a few that look an awful lot like the one your posing with. As Cal suggests, maybe the camera doesn't do it justice, but that mans seen more coyotes than anyone here I would imagine, if he concurs with my wild assed swag, I feel pretty safe, but hey, you were there,not me, I can only speak to what I see in the photo. By the way, hell of a shot, was that intended or did it rock up as the trigger finger was rocking down? Ive shot an awful lot of coyotes, but I bet I can count on three fingers the number of ones that took it in the bean.....now Tim, there's a guy who has knocked a few heads
