I had to share this. I’m sure many of you have heard the story of “old three toes” the stock killing wolf in Northwest SD that had a lengthy reign of terror in the early part of the 20th century. Tens of thousands of dollars of dead livestock. Local, livestock association, and a US Congressional bounty on his head. Whether you believe the legend or not, they make for some darn good stories. Old three toes met his demise by government trapper Clyde F. Briggs in 1925. The stone marker in the second picture marks the location (supposedly) of where he was captured. 97 years later it’s still producing stock killing canines.

Hey boone, how many coyotes do you have pegged down in your photo?
