A friend of mine sent me this pic of a coyote that his farmer BIL saw walking through the field with his cows yesterday evening, looks like he picked the wrong menu:

Now that is a big coyote. Yowsa!!
May I assume you're not here to inquire about the alcohol or the tobacco?
If attacked by a mob of clowns, go for the juggler.

That is one big azz yote!

That is a big yote but it appears to be made larger by holdng a cell phone camera up and taking the picture close up.  I doubt it's 47 pounds, but it is a big male for sure.

ChiefBubba

That's pretty impressive for sure, Chief.

I don't doubt it's 47 lbs. for a second. Read the first paragraph of the following link and you will have a better understanding of why eastern coyotes are typically twice the size of their western cousins,

I agree. i shot one last deer season that weighed 56lb. they are as solid as a rock!! all muscle. that is one animal that is very tricky to guess the weight.

If it's 47 pounds then it's a really big and way to go to the hunter,  I just don't see it being that big.

I agree that there is nothing in the pic to give away its size and you could make a rabbit look that big, but I have no reason to doubt its that big.
