Hehe, ya, and the snow and clean air kinda gave it away too.
He's lucky there weren't others around, he'd have more than his hands full. On a side note, many coyotes around here (fingers mixed up and first two letters I hit typing that word were eh.... ) in the Ottawa Valley and elsewhere I'm sure, are actually coyote/wolf hybrids, so they are larger, males can weigh up to 70lbs. Not sure about that one, maybe he is too. Dunno....... wait for it......... eh?
How's your wife's Scout knife doing anyways? "Honey, can I borrow your skinning knife?"
