Running coyotes is very popular in south Texas. The folks i used to run with called it wolfhunting(most of them grew up in an era where wolf hunting was legal and there was actually an abundant supply of wolves in Texas) Most of the guys i ran with had running walkers and Plotts. Here in florida Running coyotes is even more popular since fox became illegal to shoot and kill, A guy I work with ran a "fox pen" several years ago and would buy live coyotes from trappers for real good money to stock his fox pen. Most of the oldtime foxhunters here now run yotes, We can still run fox but they are getting harder and harder to find, I watched a show about yote decoy dogs and they used black labs and curs, was unxure if the curs were blackmouth curs or mt curs but either is very trainable and would do the job
