I've had this guy on my game camera five different days in the last three weeks or so. Always in daylight, too. I've never had a dog on a pattern before, and I've never seen one with this many cool colors. Thought someone might enjoy.

Ha, my wife just looked over my shoulder and thought that was too handsome to be a coyote...
Nice coat but looks straight yote to me. Must be good genes!

I'm pretty sure he's straight yote. They can be, although its not typical, anything from what you and I know as "coyote color" to black, blonde, red, etc. I had one skirt by me in this area last year that was really dark. Not black, but looked it at first glance.

I think he's all yodel dog, just a little blessed in the looks department.
 
Pulled that camera card. Had him two more times - that makes 7 days on cam in less than a month. Been hearing them sound off not far away and consistently from the same spot. I'm thinking there's a den and this is part of Dads daily hunt routine.

 
I'm going to try to take this dog - I'm sure if I poke around I could find a den. But in my experience they'll relocate if I do that, after they see me or more likely smell that I was around. So, I'm going to set a stand in a tree near where I'm getting these pics, wait for a day with the right wind, and grab my bow and so some calling.

If this doesnt work, I will set out to find the den and drive them out. Fawns will be dropped soon, and that boy looks pretty capable as a fawn eater.
