I am writing an article for THE JOURNAL OF THE TEXAS TROPHY HUNTER about black panthers. I mention that melanistic coyotes do exist and are fairly common in some areas of East and Southeastern Texas. I have never seen or killed a black coyote so going to lean on one of my buddies to help me out. I will give you photo credit in the magazine.
Adios,
Gary

You looking for a live picture of one or a dead picture of one? I have a picture of one killed on our lease back in the 1980's but I would have to find it.

Thanks so much guys!!! I got one from my friend, Byron South that should work just fine. It was great seeing all the melanistic coyotes from various parts of the state.
Adios and Thanks Again!
