[QUOTE="SF, post: 104272, member: 1171"] Sidney; Can't tell a hybrid or crossbred from a purebred with a pic of two canines laying in the back of a truck. The ones in the back of the truck certainly have the appearance of a coyote. So do most coyote-red wolf crosses (Haven't seen any in Texas though and haven't heard of them moving this far west). Any canine that is killing livestock needs to be euthanized by an appropriate method, therefore we are arguing symantecs here. You work in IT, so do some searches on coyotes and red wolves, their nature, their habitat, etc... You will find that the gov't and the wildlife folks introduced red wolves into the southeastern portion of the US several years back. You will find that the red wolves and the coyotes began crossbreeding. There aren't many (if any) coyotes or red wolves left in the southeast now. They have created a hybrid that lives like a coyote and a wolf. Some now hunt in packs, some even live in packs. These animals pose a much greater danger than coyotes. My point is: actual coyotes are not a danger to most livestock producers. Coyotes usually are scavengers and eat small rodents. They don't generally attack cattle. If you raise sheep or goats, whole different problem. This is my opinion based upon the information I've researched and witenessed. If you have witnessed something different Sidney, then I believe you. I don't have a reason not to. You have a nice day. Nice pics. [/QUOTE]
