I saw this guy this afternoon in a field. I pulled over to watch him. He kept his nose to the ground like he was smelling the ground, then I'd see him pick something up and chew on it and then go back to sniffing the ground. Not sure what he was doing though. Anyway I watched him for a long time and then something scared him and he took off towards the road and as he got to the middle a big dodge truck came by and ran him over killing him instantly. I loaded him up and thought I would try to skin him, but he smelled so bad that I couldn't stomach the smell. He smelled really bad, like he was rolling in something dead....
Do they always smell this bad?
And does this count as my 1st coyote since I picked him up?
