I don't know if it is an optical illusion or what but this yote seems to be larger than normal for this area. I have another property about 2-3 miles away that I have gotten pictures of a black coyote as well. I wonder if it could be the same one?
Same thing happened to me with one that looked similar to a German shepherd. I hesitated just for 2 secs and that sob was gone.I seen a black yote a few years ago while deer hunting, I couldn't figure it out , I kept thinking it was a dog because of the color. By the time I realized it was a yote he disappeared into a thicket. Good luck getting him.
