Since this thread is wondering off mind as well to keep her going ...
One of my friend is working in the Northwest Territories in Northern Canada and he prayed a Inuit to get him a wolf pelts, he just got it back from the taxidermist, cost him $6000 all in... Alaska and the Northern province of Canada have by far the best looking wolfs, they have the thickest fur and the biggest sizes.

Getting close to two decades ago, I saw the first coyote on our place. It was pretty big and not scrawny at all. The coyote was running down the driveway just after sunrise, like the fox(es) would do, but I scared the coyote and never saw it again. That coyote had to have wolf or big dog DNA given it's large size.
Last summer, in broad daylight, I was looking in the right direction, at the right time, and saw two coyotes cross the road. If I had blinked, I would have missed them. They were on a path, not very obvious but there is a path they were on. The deer use the path too, but I have no idea if they were following the deer, or just using the path. These were what coyote should look like, bigger than a fox but smaller than a wolf.
That is the only time I have seen coyotes on our place. We can hear the coyotes most nights. I heard not one, not two but THREE coyote packs howling the other night. They are here and there are a bunch more than there used to be. Pretty sure our dog had a run in with some coyotes one night. He got away safely but he was scared of something. Scared bad too. He does not wonder of at night.....

I see them daytime around here. Just yesterday I hear my ducks and geese howling around noon. I look out there, and they're all in the pond and there he is running along the shore.
So anyways, is it ca-yot or cayoteh? Around here in northern IL, we pronounce it cayoteh.

My property here in SC borders a 350 acre hunting property. I am overrun with white tail. At first light I will usually have 30 to 50 in the back 5 acres where there is a small pond. The woods are full of 75lb coyotes. They have no problem taking down adult deer and I suspect would take down a child as well. They aren't afraid of humans especially with their numbers. Ever since I got my electric fence up they stay out of the pasture. I've never lost any cattle or sheep to them but before I had finished clearing all my land here I lost a few barn cats and turkey hens.
Stray pit bulls are the biggest problem here. Lost a ram and ewe to injuries near Christmas when a pair of pit bulls found their way into the pasture. I caught them in the act but I was too late for those 2.
Now out at my property in TN we have small 35lb coyotes. They run through the pasture sometimes. I just have a field fence perimeter and a few strands of hot wire to divide up the pastures. When I was out there in Jan I was walking the fence line and scared one out of hiding. It took off across the pasture trying to cut across to the fence line. The cows were following me and the bull was hanging back a ways. Well all the girls took off chasing after that yote and the bull made a bee line towards it from about 500ft away. Next thing I know that yote was 20ft in the air doing all sorts of acrobatic flips. Somehow it landed on its feet and managed to get under the fence. I'm sure it felt that hit for a few weeks though. If my bull wasn't polled he'd probably of been wearing that yote as a hat.

Here is one that a fellow cottager spotted near here. Magnificent animal.
There is supposed to be all kinds of wolves around here, but I never hear them.

Woman down the road from me was walking her small dog and it was attacked by a coyote. It grabbed the small dog by the neck, she came running in, kicked the Coyote in the head and it let go. Her dog had 3 compression/bite wounds, but survived.
She said it was the same walk she had been taking for years with her dog and at first thought her dog was attacked by a neighborhood dog, then realized it was a coyote. I have seen 3 now this year. Turkeys have all but disappeared, too.

I should be so lucky to have the coyotes and wolves attack and wipe out the turkeys. They do the same things in my yard - on a miniature scale - as your Texas wild hogs. AND - watch your step. The turkey trots are everywhere.
