i would disagree 100% a coyote can run like forrest gump. 
seen them pushed by hounds for up to 30 plus miles(by GPS)the longer the race my money goes on the coyote.
Yep, in my experience, I too would bet on the coyote's stamina.
A greyhound is a "sprinter", for the most part.
A coyote, on the other hand, is more like a "marathon runner".
Hey, E.T., could it be that those who don't share our opinion, just have never chased coyotes with greyhounds?
We all know that doing so is primarily a Midwestern/Great Plains undertaking.
That's one reason why so many predator hunters frown upon it.
