Yeah I understand your way of thinking. Dragging that thing 3-4 miles wouldnt be fun. 82 and 62 pounds is a 20 pound difference. You see my argument.

Also, that link says that is the heaviest "caught" male. It says nothing about the animal being roadkill. So both claims are busted as of now. That site is incorrect anyways. Many PA tournaments get female dogs that weigh over 42 pounds. Where did they find that figure? www.mosquitocreeksportsmen.com/ check here under coyote hunt, there are pry 3 or 4 over the 42 pound mark.

I think as time goes on more records will be broken. I saw some yote tracks in the snow this past year that would make my lil guy look like a pup. A genetic evolve similar to the whitetails in maine averaging 2-3 hundred pounds in the upper alagash areas where they compete with moose.

Just a stretch of the imagination but maybe they were something other than a yote? Maybe it was a wolf track. Most likely this is a dumb suggestion but its a possibility. Also, how sure are you that it was a coyote track? And how do you go about determining? I look at the neatness of the track, the shape of the pads, and the toenails. If you can draw an "X" between the toes and pad without crossing the pad this is also a way to tell. But when the weather isnt so perfect and the tracks arent so fresh how can you tell?

I've killed them by calling, in front of hounds and while hunting other critters. Heaviest I've seen was a 51lb male my father took in front of hounds. ;D
