Me either, why would my buddy lie to me?

holy cow, i didn't mean to start anything.  like i said, if it really is 47 pound then awesome, that's a freaking giant song dog.  i am just reluctant to believe a lot of things i see on the internet unless there is 100% proof.    do they get that big?  yes, yes they do, i admit it.  i just said that the picture looks odd because it's taken way close up with nothing for reference.

congrats to the hunter, hopefully he did something with it other than throwing it in a ditch somewhere like a lot of guys i know do with them.

Nice yote

I talked to my buddy at work today and he said 47 lbs was just an estimate by him, he saw it personally and took the cell phone pic.

After hanging in that tree 2 hours they weighed it in at 54 lbs.

It was chasing calves in the field and the farmer went to get his rifle and came back, the yote was standing in a hay field when he killed it.

I killed a few this year and Shot this one this spring on a turkey hunt here in the Va. mtns. He was just over 50.lbs

For those wondering about 50#ers in an Eastern Coyote, try googling Eastern Coyotes to find that a 50 falls in the average size top end. Reason is that a Eastern has been found to have bred with Canadian Gray Wolfs by genetic testing, so it is a fact. Easterns run typically twice the size of a Western Coyote.  I love Google.

C'mon guys....jeesh....I have been killin' coyotes out here in Colorado and Wyoming for 32 years.  When you say easterns are twice the size of western dogs...that means that our dogs are ......25lbs???   Hogwash!  The biggest dog I have seen called in and killed was in north central Colorado in an area we call "North Park" and that dog went 75 lbs.  Granted it was an extremely huge dog but our dogs out here and in Wyoming run around 50lbs.  They are a little smaller if you go east to Kansas and Nebraska but our coyotes out here in the "West" are some pretty healthy critters.  They have to be to survive the seasons.  Don't mean to start somethin' about mine is bigger than yers but our dogs are not small.
