How big do you think this coyote is?

Looking for guesses at any dimension--weight, height, length, whatever.

Thanks!

i can see why noone has posted on this, its a tough job to even come up with a guess...maybe a vet could tell ya, cause they are dogs.
i would say not very old,.i saw a pack one time, you could tell who the alpha was by the scars on his face.

Very hard to judge height, lenght & weight with nothing else in the picture.


You can see he's not a youngster, but he doesn't seem like an old man either.

Back is straight and belly tucked up..................

Guess 4-5 years old ?? prime of his life.


Good lookin dog !!!

Who knows really, as others have said, without something else in the picture to help judge size. As for age, usually best to look at the teeth closely, BUT we can see this one still looks to have a full set at least. BUT, in the end, who cares how big it is, it's a neat color phase for sure.

Thanks for the replies...actually I was going to ask about its coloration, how would you characterize it? I don't know much about coyotes, see. But I can't find a picture of a coyote that's quite the same color.

I would say its a young Coyote,looks to still have a little of its winter coat...probably about 20 inches tall and around 3 foot long adding the tail into the equation,weighing in at around 20-30 lbs,good and healthy looking...almost looks to have a little tame Dog in its blood line?If You shot it we'd know for sure!!! LOL


Its looks to have a light color in its coat up front by the shoulders...not sure if its from age or from the more Tamer side of it?Personally it looks like a common color for a Coyote....now this past Jan I shot a very light Tan & White colored Female Coyote,my Neighbor is a Trapper and he said it had a lot of regular Dog in it since it was such a lighter colored Coyote.He didn't even want it but offered to skin it and have it Tanned...sad thing was he put it in with several other of his Hides and ended up loosing it and sent it off!All I have is a few pictures of it when I shot it.


If You happen to get that Coyote He/She would make a great Full Mount because it is a nice healthy looking Coyote with a great looking Coat!
