I think there are a few folks here getting Coyotes confused with Wolfs. And anyone who wants to start a urban legend of the two mating into a hybred super coyote--dont bother.
It doesn't happen.

Ba ha ha ha ha.

Sure it does. There are wolf-dog hybrids and coyote-dog hybrids. The red wolf in the eastern U.S. has coyote genes. Google canid hybrids.

I had lots of coyotes when I lived in TX, shot everyone I could, the Pyrenees and teh donkeys killed some too, but they are everywhere. They're around here in OKC suburbia, and if my neighbors weren't as close, I'd start shooting them here too.

That would have been Grover Simpson

This reminds me of an episode one night my grandmother's ranch in central California. We heard a commotion outside in the middle of the night. Next thing I know my grandmother is headed down the hall and grabs her shotgun on the way out of the door. When we got around to the side yard where the commotion was we find her german shephard with his jaws around the coyote's throat with the coyote on it's back. My grandmother didn't need the shotgun. I guess the coyote was sniffing around the chicken coop when her dog found him.
I remember my grandmother burning the coyote the next day.

Nothing like a Browning Auto 5 to help settle the commotion.

In the wilds, wolves will usually kill coyotes. So, wothout wolves, the coyote population has exploded. Around here coyotes have been breeding with domestic or wold dogs since the late 80's. They are generally called 'coys'. I here they are not afraid of human presence. I think since the mid 90's the coyote population has exploded here. They are more of a full strain. One guy at work even captured a pup. It ran off a few months later.
For my vistist around Austin TX, any dog not your own, will generally get shot, if off its property. There are a lot of angora sheep or goats in that region.
I do remeber a story from CO. A college buddy was working summer time around Westcliff. Is where a lot of the Spagetti westerns were filmed. The owner of the ranch had a big Shepard wolf mix. The coyotes would call out the domestic dogs and kill them. They called out this one and they found a pack of coyotes laided out dead.

Yes, that was it...
I do not see or hear anyone carrying on the fight now though..
although reports of the same problem make it to the newspaper regularly...

It looks like the labs are. The pit bull has not seen the coyote yet. I suspect the coyote has seen it though.

Looking back on it I will say that the birds were raising all kinds of heck in the section where the dogs later came up on the coyote. I'll pay more attention to them from now on.

If you are seeing this vermin in the daylight, chances are he's rabid. DON'T let your dogs get involved in an altercation with it. Find a way to get out there, kill it & burn it. Show no mercy, it's not a puppy and it will kill your animals without any hesitation.

We have metro ones here and i see them in the afternoon trying to find a place to cross the highway safely,,its more common to see them going back to the den in the mornings, or lokking for a cat at dark thirty.

yep, they rarely come out in the light unless they have a sickness and that can be rabies.
