Here is a picture taken by one of my trail cameras last week . Coyotes are increasing in my area but I do not get many pictures of them . This one seems to be very long legged 046.JPG

From the angle of his tail, it appears he's taking a leak
on the field..:occasion14:

Coyotes that live in open country tend to be longer-legged
than their forest dwelling cousins. They can travel miles
without tiring while looking for food.

Here in Adams Co. Pa. one of the hardware stores in Gettysburg has a contest for the three heaviest dogs of the year with 1500.00 top prize. I think there's a rifle in every room of the house :icon_thumleft:

whats the largest you have seen down there? We have had a few 75lb ones here I have seen weighed personally, and have heard stories of larger.

At 75lb. that was more than likely some kind of dog/coyote/wolf hybrid. May not
have looked like it, but I'd bet the DNA would show it.

Here's an interesting article about Eastern Coyotes:

Why the eastern coyote should be a separate species: the 'coywolf'

No question the NY coyotes are larger than the ones out West, and
their jaws are more squared off, but 75lb would be an absolute TOAD..

Biggest I ever got probably weighed in around 40 pounds, but a thick winter
coat can sure make 'em look much bigger.
