I sat on a hill a few months back , looking down a pasture road that runs along the side of the pond. With a 243 in hand waiting on a yote to show up, when I see through the scope, what first looked to be a large dog, not looking like a yote at first glance, I continued to watch as he came toward me. When I did come to realize he was a yote, he side stepped into the brush. Not allowing me to take the shot. My point here is I swear he had some dog genetics or so it seamed. And guys, I have eaten coon and possum, its better than you might think, in fact it was pretty good eating.
Coons will also kill and eat deer fawns. Tbar, when I managed the 3,700 acre place (7 years) in W. Texas, the quail populations varied greatly each yr due to the spring rains, as Dave and You described.
