Caught this one a couple days ago. Leg had been broken long ago and didn’t heal right.From the long hair on the bad foot it didn’t touch the ground very often.

It's always amazed me how well they can get along with just 3 legs working right some of them are so fat it's like skinning a pig and quick a cousin who has shot them from a airplane cuss's them like no other .
Skinning out some hind legs is a challenge when for what ever reason they are pulled up tight and won't straighten out then it's grip it and rip it time .

I caught 3 different 3 legged coyotes off a ranch last year. All were gone from mid shoulder down. You didn't know until you got right up to them healthy as all get out. Very resilient animal!

Funny how a tap on the snout tames one of these tough guys right down.

Sounds like someone's rifle was sighted in a little low.

Probably sighted for 100 and popping off shots at 150.

It was his youngest son, he's a caller. The rancher asked me what i thought had happened. I just told him i didn't know, tons of coyotes on his place and didn't want to take the chance of offending him.

More like popping off shots at 300+. In this Gyp Hill country of Kansas if you cant get it called in to 100 yds or less your next closest shot will be 250+

Saw a three legged fox struggle to come across a field to my location. I was young and fairly fast. Thought it will be no problem catching this one with his jacked up leg. I came out from behind a tree and got about two strides into the chase.

That fox had lit the afterburners and was already in the next county.

Don’t let the little buggers fool ya, 3 legs is not a disadvantage.

Coyotes are tough buggers they go long way on a bad shot.
I catch 1 or 2 every once in while missing something when I go into new permissions.
