well you might wanna go to the ATM because they can run 45mph for a half hour or trot indefinitely (sp?)

If I can find something in writing then I will post it for you.

Better yet, E-mail him directly on his web-page and ask your self, I know him, He loves a good challange!! I am not sure if he is back from filming yet but he will get back to you sooner or later.

ok cascade dad, here ya go as I promised:

""When hunting, coyotes sometimes pursue prey in relays, enabling packs to run down animals that could escape a single coyote. The list of prey able to escape a coyote is short, however, because coyotes can run in bursts as fast as forty miles per hour. They can also travel up to 400 miles at a stretch, stopping only occasionally to howl for news. "" the site is http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=funfacts.coyote


""Like other wild dogs, coyotes have a muscular body, long legs, and a bushy tail. They can run up to 40 miles per hour and often run down fast-moving jackrabbits. Coyotes have a unique nighttime howl (a series of yelps followed by a prolonged wail), which usually announces an individual’s territory or location.""

""Description and Habits
[ul][*]Usually gray with a rusty color on neck and flanks[*]Black patches on base and tip of tail help distinguish from dogs[*]20-30 pounds[*]18-21 inches tall[*]42-50 inches long[*]Average litter of 4 to 5 pups[*]Run as fast as 40 miles per hour[*]Diet includes fruits and vegetables, pet food, small wild and domestic animals, snakes and lizards, and garbage "" The site is: http://www.gf.state.az.us/w_c/urban_coyote.shtml[/ul]
""Coyotes can run as fast as 25 to 30 miles an hour but can run 35 to 40 miles an hour when pursued. They are also strong swimmers."" The site is: http://wildlifeorphanage.org/coyote.html

""Coyotes (Canis latrans) are highly adaptable canids (members of the family Canidae). Capable of running at 25 to 30 mph (40 to 50 km/h) for prolonged periods of time, they can attain 40 mph (65 km/h) in short bursts of speed. Coyotes are one of the fastest species of canids, but unlike most canids, they run with their tails down.""

Do you want me to post more or as that enough for you????

even though I said 45 and the links say 40, its probably way faster than you though still, right cascadedad???

I got your PM. Sorry, but I win the bet. No freebies, pay up.

How does that work????

your articles said yotes "can" reach those speeds BUT they didn't say they could MAINTAIN those speeds for 30 minutes.

Thank you.

Why don't you just admit your wrong cascadedad? Oh and I wonder why you've edited your post?

I edited my post because I originally said 21 1/2 miles instead of 22 1/2 miles. Didn't want anyone to think I couldn't do a little simple math.

You want to get in on the bet too Predator? Browning failed miserably, maybe you can do better with your Google search.

I'm not sure if I'm sold on the coyotes or wolves 'killing for fun'. When I shoot a deer I don't eat it all right on the spot, I put it in the freezer for later, maybe thats what there doing? I do agree that coyote numbers affect deer numbers, thats the way the food chain works.
