Coyote with no tail?

[wankerjake]

Hey buddy, be a sport and post pictures of a few of the lions you've killed?

You have posted nothing. And that is alright. I can see you are a very experienced hunter and owner of a trained hunting hound. I am not in your league when it comes to hunting. Please excuse me just an old Wyoming JAFO. Thanks for your help.

Growin' up in farm country, I saw a lot of cows, cats and dogs without tails. Many times it was a injury when very young. Many times it was a hairball mixed with poop that stuck too long and cut off blood long enough for the limb to die. I could see an adult loosing it in a fence, a fight or even being shot off by a hunter that stop swinging when shooting at it running. I shot coyotes with 3 legs that were very healthy and fat. Doubt if loosing a tail would hurt a fox much unless in a very cold climate. Any 'yote with mange bad enough to loose their tail, would probably loose their life.

Close. That's a one-eyed, bob-tailed, spotted mountain lion.

Don't feel bad though, I thought it was a bobcat too for just a minute. However, that was due to my inexperience as it turns out.
