BIG COYOTE New York State Record

WOW! How many deer do you figure this guy took down?

N.Y.S. D.E.C. game commission officer Bob Doe confirmed that this was indeed a new New York state record coyote . Its official weight was 115 pounds, it is a very large male and was shot during the regular deer season just out side the town of Hilton. It has been spotted on several different occasions chasing deer & live stock dogs and cats.

Jim Thanks for posting the snopes link. The head looks like a wolf not coyote.

I was always hearig stories of 60-70 lb coyotes here in Michigan. I started measuring coyote hides at the Ravenna fur sale. They all taped right around 60 inches give or take 1 or 2 inches. If these were the norm, a 60-70pounder would have had to been a lot longer.

I have the hide of a coy-dog cross. It was actually smaller than the normal coyote.

Another false story, and everyone wonders why we laugh when someone says they have a picture to prove there are cougers in Michigan.
