coyote proper name

I call them dogs, I call guns... guns... not firearms. Who cares, PETA will be mad either way. I don't have any more respect for coyotes than I do deer, badgers, bobcats, etc.
 
I don't care what you call them, just call them!!!! USE custom calls, electronics or a sleazy lip squeak, makes no difference to me or the coyote. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Isn't that why we are here? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Nicknames for critters don't bother me so much, but the non-use of capitals, punctuation and misspelled words just drive me up the wall. Hard to read or understand sometimes just what the writer is trying to tell us. Now, I am no PC guru or student of the English language, in fact, I was a poor student in the subject, but over the past 50 years I have tried to get better. I believe some people just get in a hurry and don't really take the time to correct themselves, thereby, making it tougher on us readers. Sorry for the rant, but my .02 cents worth for this week.
 
This is like the "Ground Hog Day" movie. There was a similar thread last year on this. It got pretty opinionated and ugly, if I remember.

Most ranchers and farmers I know call them SOB's, as in "You want to call coyotes? Sure! Kill every one of the SOB's.

How people write the names is one thing how they same them is funny too. We all have dialects.
I know this certain fellow, whom I will not name that says. (as near as I can spell it) 'keeauty' er mabbe 'keeaudie'
I think its funny.
I love using words and punctation in odd ways for different slants.
but mostly I is just too lazy to write things out sometimes.

I am from the old school and call them coyotes and think they are the greatest game animal on earth. No offense to anyone, but anyone who says "coyotee" is a pilgrim, a city slicker that has been watching the animal planet, or a fan of the Phoenix hockey team. However, if you look the pronunciation up in the dictionary it is listed both ways. It is also a regional thing. I think Webster was a city slicker. I have heard it pronounced in Canada as "kyute". The pronunciation "yote", "dog", "songdog", etc. I think is just a trendy thing to sound cool so people will think you are a coyote hunter extrordanaire(sp). I do, however, go along with the fact that people use the shorter versions for typing on the net. Up here in Montana if we hear someone say coyotee we know they are from out-of-state, a bunny-hugger, or a wannabee coyote hunter that has been watching too much tv.

Seems that I have never seen any uproar over the "proper" use of the name of coyote but on one other site. And I don't visit that site anymore. I call them yote, songdog, coyote, or whatever I feel like at the time. Just seems trivial to point out such a thing is all.
 
it seem's like newer guy's call them different. just brought up because we have alot of new people. this is a great thing. look how predator hunting is taking off. everyone is making new predator gun's. .alot of good reply's. Rick

funny, the only way we can tell if someone is a wannabee here is if they kill alot of coyotes or not.
 
i call them what i feel like, and i dont use punctuation too much. I have a hard enough time typing to worry about capitol letters and periods and such. seems to me too many guys on here have too much time criticizing others than needed. who cares what someone calls them and who cares how someone types. not everyone has alot of time they spend on a computer. I dont work with one and the only time i am on one is for this site, have fun with this one guys!!!

I like you Joe. We should get out and shoot some puppies. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Call me old school I guess; I call them what they properly are, a coyote. When I hear the various other terms, it always makes me think that same guy most likley calls cartridges,"shells",and magazines, "clips", and antlers, "horns". When I hear those various incorrect terms, my mind is all ready made up as to what kind of hunter or shooter the guy is, or more incorrectly isn't to my mind....but thats just me:)
 
I've always called them coyotes. I've pronounced it with a "long O and/or E" on the end. Just like Ole Webster has in the dictionary.

I have heard, Poor grammer to some is a sign of ignorance. Using profanity because you can't find a better word, etc... Well, that's what my english teachers used to tell us many years ago.

As far as "city speak", good grief come to one of our innercity schools and listen to what REAL city people talk like. I doesn't sound like the english I was taught. More like Rap.
 
coyote kò.yóe.tee kó.yoet
coyote* The popular, but wrong, pronunciation ko.yoet is a spelling-pronunciation. People whose native language is English see many words with a silent-E at the end, so learn to ignore most E's at the end of a word. However, a final, single-E is pronounced in many words and names, from "Penelope" to "epitome", "abalone" to "provolone", "synecdoche" to "anemone". There are, indeed, over 100 common and uncommon words and names in English in which the final-E is sounded. "Coyote" is one of them, and is the proper, formal pronunciation, despite its slangy sound.

CORRECT PRONUNCIATION

For those that have to know /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It dont matter to me how someone says it I got enough common sense to know what there talking about. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

The one that does make my skin crawl is "speed goat" in place of pronghorn or antelope. Gaawwwd I hate that one. That will get me to turn off a hunting show or tune out some poster or person quicker than just about anything. It's almost as though some people have to "use the slang" to prove they're somehow with the "in crowd" or "in the know". "Speed goat" is just too far over the top for my tastes. Fingernails on a chalk board to me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif Every time I hear it I just want to smack someone. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif


I thought I was the only one.
Antelope is ok cause that's probably what most people first heard them called and it just stuck.
But Speed Goat truely is like fingernails on the chalk board. Funny part is, I hear it more on the lame azz hunting shows than from actual hunters.

Chili.........Clip's is definatly another one that makes the hair stand up. But once again, it's probably what someone first heard them called. I hear the dumb azz hunting shows call them that as well.
RedFrog........."Doesn't matter what ya call em, just call em". AMEN
