Ramblings and Such From Hunting Coyote

This is a good example of why I like to run 8-foot snares, he was a good neck catch, jumped over the fence back through it between the barbed wire and the woven wire then back over the top of the barbed wire and couldn't get his front feet on anything solid, choked down before he could chew on the cable. I have seen where they would back up with a shorter snare and that puts the cable next to their mouth and being mad at being restrained, they start biting at what is holding them, their molars will cut the smaller strands of wire as they are designed to crush bones and cut through meat and sinew. He was a darker blackish back but had fine fur on his back, one of this springs pups. With a good washing using mild detergent to get the dirt out he would be a lighter color but not a pale by any means. The female from the other day was of the rusty red color faze.

Walt with his tie and spring grooming then just standing watching my wife to make sure she didn't leave without him. His spots were darker when we got him but then I thought he was tan till I bathed him the next day, He had been playing in the Texas dirt with his eight siblings. I bathed him checked his ears, eyes and mouth. I got him an appointment for vaccination's checked him for worms and heart worms. He had four puppy teeth still at six months so had them removed and got him groomed. He's spoiled more than my wife and grand kids. I would say that your JR is too, lol.

My wife gets upset at me for letting Walt set on the outside table while I have my morning coffee, but he enjoys it and knows it's the only table he's allowed to be on. He has his own little rug by the door in the house that he lays on while we eat and it's where he is told to place and sit when we are going to get in the truck. I do have to clean the nose prints off of the inside of the truck windows that he puts on them when I leave him in the truck on his own. He knows that when I tell him to get on the couch to put his harness on that he's going to go to the groomers and gets so excited then he will run to the door and place. When I open the door and give him the wait command, he does his little chirps till I release him by telling to get in the truck then he will bounce up and down till I open the truck door for him. He sits on the consol and watches the road as we drive but if he sees a coyote in a set, he's all over the passenger seat. The other day when I left a coyote beside the gate for the rancher to see he got upset and wanted his new play toy back.

Sounds like a match made in heaven! You two are lucky to have one another.
 
Sassy is a beautiful dog!!! The first picture was showing how I fastened to the post and had a 10-inch loupe; Walt went through it, and it closed around his mid-section so that is about where you would catch a fox or jack rabbit. Walt will stop and just sit down waiting for me to let him out of it, he turned around and came back to my side of the fence then just stepped on through it when I backed the lock off. In the second picture as I was driving to the next pasture, I saw a black spot in the grass then two shinny flashes from about an eight of a mile, this is what the Magpies were eating on the remains of a white-tailed jackrabbit. Those of us that have a good companion like Walt, Sassy, Jack or Zip are so fortunate.

The Wyoming state Veterinarian released a rabies report for this year 11 bats around the state tested positive 15 skunks tested positive all in Sheradan county. With our warmer winter so far, the animals haven't hibernated I am still seeing skunks and racoons on a regular basis.
