Coyote toilet
I was camping with a few of you guys on one of the early HM campouts. One morning, I took a roll of TP and headed out to the desert to do some paperwork. I found where some other camper had done his business. There was a coyote terd right on top of the old toilet paper. Coyotes are weird man!! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ☺

Sorry. I've forgotten how to post pictures on this board. I used photo bucket.
I even tried imageevent because I know it works for Dave. $25 just to post a funny coyote terd?!?!
I'd sooner email it to Dave so he could post it. Isn't there a free image hosting site that works here?
P.S. I did just send it webmaster@rmvh.com

That's about all I know, too. It looks okay to me? Last hope, Fred.

Danny,
I battled with this a time or two myself and Fred helped me get it fixed. When using PB select "Direct" and cut and paste that here. Than add the [IMG] http://blahblahblah.jpg [/IMG]
Make sure there is no spaces between any parts of it. I just ran through the steps again to make it works

Ever heard someone threaten to, "rip your head off and shit down your neck?"
I suppose this could be the coyote making good on his threat to, "let a truck run you over, eat you head and legs off, then shit on your shell!!

What's the biggest coyote turd you ever saw? At a certain point, like "tracks", you start thinking wolf. That is, until you have actually witnessed wolf scat. Wolf scat seems to contain enormous amount of deer fur, versus coyote containing rabbit fur.
I occasionally stumbled across coyote turds that were close to ten inches long, straight intact and awesome. You know, something you want to pick up and save, for show and tell? lol

Strangest places?
How about the Gray Fox habit of taking a dump squarely on top of a large rock? Gotta admit, that's strange.

Not the same thing, but had a coyote piss on my truck tire while I was on a stand once.

This is not the same thing either, but. You know the lengths some people go to hide the truck? The theory is that a coyote will not approach a stand if they see a vehicle within miles.
I always get a kick when a coyote has to run past my truck to get to the set up, maybe a quarter mile away. (without a glance, BTW) Of course, some places, they shoot "at" every coyote they see, and then they don't understand why the coyotes are shy? Primarily farm country, of course.
Was the tire wet? Did he lift his leg, do a lot of scratching?
But, just when you think you know exactly what a coyote will do....
I had a coyote yip/howl right on my back bumper once, and I was inside sleeping. I got up and looked down at him from the hatch, then killed him as he sauntered away, with the shottie.
The thing I get a kick out of is when you kick out a coyote walking into a stand, and they stop to take a shit before running off. Not many times, but I have killed a few that were all hunched up, taking a dump while looking right at me.
I will never forget the time, at night when we had a dead gray fox at the 1:o'clock position, fifty yards away. I picked up a coyote a few minutes later, out at the 9 o'clock, he was maybe 150 or so? But instead of running straight for the fox, and at the time, I was clueless, he circled counter clockwise, maintaining his distance, somewhat. Then, when he got downwind, @ 2 o'clock, he ran straight at the fox, picked it up in pretty heavy cover and escaped without a shot fired. Of course, he was previously downwind of me between 4 and 3 o'clock, so he knew where I was and where the fox was and I will never understand how I was throughly bamboozled, he pulled my pants down and stole my fox like taking candy from a baby. Not only that, but I didn't know he stole the fox until I walked out to get it and it was gone. Remember this: coyotes love gray fox, maybe more than rabbit or feral cats?
The thing to remember is, a coyote will never take the long way around to pick up your scent, but this one did a 3/4 circle, traveling three times a far as he would have, just to pick up my scent, the short way. He KNEW where that fox was, maybe he was tracking the fox's trail, but I can't prove that? I have never seen anything like it? Oh, I have seen many coyotes circle me and then hide behind a bush, but this was like a dog stealing an ice cream cone from a two year old, and I was the two year old!
I mean, that was almost supernatural. All those routine kills, and then something like this! And, literally eats at you! I'll get that sucka!
Good hunting. El Bee
