Redhound80-I read somewhere that anthropologists figure the backwoods Appalachian dialect still spoken in parts of VA, WV, and KY is probably the closest dialect still in existence to the way "Kings English" was spoken from the 1600s to the late 1700s (the spoken English of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson). Let folks that prejudge based on speech patterns stew on them apples.
My grandson calls coyotes kah-ha-tees, though I have no idea where he got that from, since ki-yo-tee is about the only thing I don't call them (usually).
More often it's "baby" as in "come on baby, just a couple more steps", or "a$$hole" as in "look at those tracks, the a$$hole snuck in and back-doored us", or "sumb***ch" as in "Whoa, you knocked that sum***ch into tomorrow", or just "dog" as in "don't touch him, that dog's et up with mange".
The idea seems to have developed that only people who are pros (ADC) or who kill hundreds of coyotes a year have valid opinions/info. I reject that idea out of hand. I am NOT an expert caller, and I do value their (expert) information where it happens to suit my situation, but I also learn from the guy who tells the story of killing (or being busted by) his first coyote. I value anybodies experiences as a possible learning tool, and don't particularly care what terminology they use.

you'll see more and more ignorant statments that you just can't get your mind around on these boards. The good thing is you recognize them,and show good character by pointing them out, good on you!
