Catdog, if I didn't know any better that picture was taken on our ranch! It looks like the same country.
As for the rest of the picture, I've seen my dog stand coyote like that a time or 2. When I'm horseback and have no gun! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
I use my bird dogs (pointers & setters) the yotes chase them right back to papa who has a surprise for them. They are defending their territority against the invaders I suppose. Works good though!!!
