Puckhead Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It's a coyote. A fox normally will not trot with it's tail down. Wolf up, Fox horizontal, Coyote down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuchikubo Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Nauti, I wish you good luck on your kicking the butt habit. Think about all the fresh air and more money you can enjoy once you do. As for the vid. Initially I was thinking fox, but there was something about it that was telling me otherwise, I've spotted many fox while cycling in my youth, and that one was not moving like the ones I've seen before, so I'll have to guess it was a coyote. There were many good points mentioned above, but the sulking trot was the one I think pin-pointed my thoughts. Either way, good on you for getting the vid.

nautifish Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Can't help with identifying the animal... Best of luck with the non-smoking... Sometimes it takes a determined mindset like... Nothing, absolutly nothing is worth taking a cigarette Each craving/urge you overcome makes the next one a miniscule bit easier and farther apart... My stepdaughter gave them up when her boyfriend said that kissing her was like licking an ashtray... Thanx so much beans. I think this is the only way for me to go for me personaly. On my 5th day now still very early day's. Tougher when you live with another smoker but he say's he aint quitting. Fortunatly we have never smoked in the house so i guess my payback will be when he is out in the freezing cold freezing his gonads off puffin on a F AG My kids are all grown and i would like to be able to enjoy quality time with my grandkids when they come along. Not have them visiting some old grey haired woman who is puffin and panting just getting up out of her chair......lol Thanx again beans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx so much HF WELL This turned out to be interesting, for some reason i thought that most of the replies would all say the same animal . I am actually thrilled i manage to catch this on video especially so close to my home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch312 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ive shot over 10 fox and many more coyotes but im kinda stumped on this one. its hard to tell how far away the critter is on camera so it makes sizing it up even harder. it does look larger than a fox but too slender for a healthy mature coyote. i say its a coyote from last years litter which is why its body mass looks smaller than a full grown coyote. thats why i like to shoot and ask questions later (actually, if i was hunting id have bino's to ID the animal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking about taking up hunting myself this yr but i really am not sure if i could actually shoot something. LOL I tell myself i could maybe shoot a duck or a goose but when it comes to the actual crunch i just dunno. Alot of money to fork out if i wimp out.....lol.

holdfast Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 COYOTE, looks like it, walks like it. Why? its haunched, and walks with a hop to speak of. Theyre everywhere here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Okay now when u say hammer i assume u mean hamilton right? I have lived in port dover allmost six yrs now and this is my 1st time ever seeing one in our erea. Now we have alot of development going on here and i mean alot. Do you sopose maybe they are being driven out of there natural habitat where they would normally hide? I was allways under the impression that coyotes were quiet shy animals? Yes hamilton Coyotes are actually a rather curious creatures, although they keep to them selves most of the time many are not overly shy either. You'll find more coyotes just on the edge of many urban centers then you will out in no mans land for sure. This is Because the cities create a food source for them.... Our Garbage, litter, and "feeders" (meaning bird feeders, and people who feed squirels etc.) Attract numbers of edible creatures to the out skirts that are generally well feed, and not as cautious as they should be. Then throw in some peoples pets such as cats, and small dogs... You get a recipe very attractive to Coyotes. The past few years we have seen some heavy snow falls as well making hunting a bit tougher for them so they take the easy route to our back yards, and green spaces on the edge of town that house the fat squirels, and neighborhood cats. Plus the surge in Ontario deer & Turkey populations can't be hurting the Coyote food supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdrifter Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) I'd say its a yote as well. Too big to be a fox........if it howled....its a yote. Fox's don't howl. He would make a good shot with the .270 Sinker Nice one. Actually foxes do have a howl, but it's more like a yelp. Still, that be a willey ol yotee. OH And Nauti, congrats on knocking that habit! Keep it up, you'll probably live longer than these itchy trigger finger putzes. cheers HD Edited January 30, 2008 by Highdrifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyDog Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I've seen coyote in Toronto proper, including at Finch and Dufferin, walking along Finch street on the NE side of the corner (he must have come up from the resevoir) and at Hwy. 7 and 400 running up the side of one the ramps in the grassy areas. They are basically everywhere now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisco Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I think it's a coyote. I've also seen quite a few and shot some along with fox. Fox are 10lbs and coyotes are 35lbs. With fox the tail looks bigger relative to the body compared to the critter in the video, and the body of a fox with winter fur doesn't so clearly show the belly curve as with a coyote. Fox also since being so light and fluffy walk/lope in an almost weightless manner, whereas a coyote walks/lopes with a bit of weight going to the paw like the critter in your video. Best way would have been to walk out to look the track over..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
