I was out for alittle afternoon session today, it snowed all morning, and called in a pair. The male was extremely agressive. I had my brown dog(buddy) along, and that pair built to him like we were on a den. It's way too early for that here. They went and had some fun and he brought them back in way faster than I would have liked. I finally hollered at them and got em stopped before everyone was in my lap, and shot the male at about 40 yards. The female lined out with buddy in hot pursuit and he finally got her mad enough to follow him back to about 250 yards, which is where she died. When I went to look at the male, I couldn't believe how old he was. His canines were worn round and less than a half inch long. The rest of his teeth were worn smooth to the gumline. His teeth were also completely yellow. Looked like he chewed Copenhagen for about twenty years. The only coyote I ever killed that I thought was older was down on the sweetwater near Jeffrey City. It was a female that didn't hardley have a tooth left in her head. She was thin, but she also had a litter of pups that year. This male was in good shape, one of the biggest coyotes I've taken this year. He weighed 46 lbs.
