A few have been caught up west of Red Deer , jet black , melanism There is still one in my area. Nice catch! A while back I shot 29 Franklin ground squirrels , what we call gophers all black .

Nice catch Dave.

Wolftrapper 01-16-2018 05:45 PM

Very cool. I've caught hundreds but nothing ever like that.

Black coyote
 
Congrats on your black coyote
I shot a female black coyote about 12 years ago East of Westlock
Had it made into a rug with full head mount.
You can see in the photo how the black coyote compares to a regular coyote which I also had made into a rug with full head mount which was my sons first coyote when he was 11 years old and shot it with a 17HMR

Today's cool catch
 
That is an awesome catch. I'm hoping to catch a cross fox one day.

Beauty yote Dave. wish we had some of them around here but ours are mostly pale :sHa_sarcasticlol: congrats

Flight01 01-16-2018 07:23 PM

Very cool. Pretty sure I saw one on our line about 4 years ago. Too small for wolf and too big for cross fox. Crossed the trail and saw him briefly through the big timber. Wasn’t 100% on what I saw. Now I’m convinced it was one of these guys. Very cool indeed

gman1978 01-16-2018 07:59 PM

Cool! I will trade you your black one for these reddish orangey ones I have caught lol!

Yup, thanks. Case skinned with paws on. In November I did a big fisher with the paws on and it worked out well. If I take my time I’ll do okay.

The paws aren’t extra thin for pulling down to the first knuckle are they?

jawa 01-17-2018 05:22 AM

Yes they are very thin take your time you will do good

angery jonn 01-17-2018 08:19 AM

Cool catches !

Lefty-Canuck 01-17-2018 10:28 PM

Saw a jet black one while driving about 10 years ago (ironically out coyote hunting) he skipped off the road into some thick bush and was gone. But I know what I saw! He was jet black.

There’s a fella in Leduc County on another site that posted a picture of a black coyote that he caught the same day that I did. How strange is that?

Saskbone 01-18-2018 08:06 PM

Picked up a black and a blond one this year on the same check. Probably never catch another because they are rare around here. Can't finger out how to post pictures or I would.

Camdec 01-18-2018 10:33 PM

Very neat catch Dave. Congratulations! I like the rug idea on such a catch.
