Coyote or fox?

[dens228]

My first thought was coyote, but awfully small..........maybe a fox?

Looks like a young yote...legs are too long for a fox in my opinion plus coat is short like a yotes....

Yep. Coyote for sure.

I third the yote. Profile looks like a yote. Just saw a large female fox the other day close up. It has a den across the street in the neighbors back yard with four furry kits that often play out in the yard. I plan on shooting some squirrels to help Momma feed the kits.

Sounds good to me

At my old house we had a coyote that was pretty darn small. Saw it the same general time of day for a few years at least so I assume it was the same specimen. Never grew that I could tell.

Saw a mother with some pups when I was out hiking and she was also quite small.

At any rate, I agree that it is a coyote in your pictures.

That’s a coyote, and if you know what’s good for your place, he’d be eating lead very soon.

Another vote for yote.

Coyote.

They don’t bother us here because the bigger predators (mountain lion, bobcat) tend to keep their numbers way down.

Coyote for sure.

Yote +1

Yote for sure. Legs give it away.

I think coyote based on the long length of the legs relative to the size of the body.

Definitely an adolescent coyote… it’s getting to be that time of year.
