Hey Duse500.

My buddy sent me this thread since a few years back I snared a black coyote here in Michigan. I got the same responses about this one (coy-dog, etc). It may be a coy dog, it may not. But it is a very cool coyote regardless. I ended up getting mine mounted.Hope this picture turns out since it's my first time posting. BTW- the coyote weighed 30#. I had a local varmint hunter/taxidermist take a look at him and he thought it was all coyote. Have a good one!
