I haven't hunted coyotes but am thinking about doing it. That is why in another post I had asked a question about trying to get them to hold up. We hunt heavey wooded areas up this way as well. I have seen 6 coyotes in my last 7 days of hunting. Mostly bondes but today I had one come up on the road just ahead of me and it was mostly black. It had gray on it's face legs and under side as well as the under side of it's tail. Although the underside of the tail had a small amount of brown blended into it. I first thought it was someones small shepard but I was only around 40 miles from any tar road let alone any houses. It would of made a super mount IMO..
