"Are coydogs hybrid coyotes? "

BB, I dont believe they exist. Ive heard claims and little else. Some who have little knowledge of coyote hunting see or take coyotes that are odd color phases or whatever and make the claim. I also saw an animal killed that was posted on a predator hunting message board that was claimed to be a "coy dog" and it was the funniest thing I ever saw. It was obviously a mutt, possibly feral. Looked far more like a coon dog (long floppy ears and all! LOL)than any coyote Ive ever seen! Guy who shot it was probably lucky he didnt take it to the farmers house where he was hunting to show it off. It wouldve possibly cost him HIS hide!

I also have read about a well known trapper who had a pet female yote. He said while his male dog attempted her onseveral occassions no litters were ever produced.

Doug, that crazy speak. The worst areas of Pa better than average hunting? Pure nonsense. The BEST areas of the state currently are subpar compared to any decent area of any decent State Ive ever hunted. Best areas of the state generally have "average" deer numbers comparatively and the quality isGROSSLY subpar across the huge majority of the state, except for possible sra.

Above average? Ha ha. Compared to New Jersey, or perhaps the sonoran desert! (LOL)[:'(]
