the tail doesn't look as bushy and longer looking legs. do you think it is more of a grey fox? or what they call a kit

No Mike, that thought never crossed my mind. (1), I know a coyote when I see a coyote, (2) The closest Kit fox to our location is 1500-2000 miles west of us and they weigh about 25 lbs less than this guy. (3) The coyote was running in a pair with another coyote to avoid hounds and deer hunters. The second coyote was a normal looking coyote. The shooter rolled them both, but this one stayed down. Never recovered the second one after extensive blood trailing in thickets. Trust me and Cooper, it was a coyote. It wasn't a fox or a dog or anything but a coyote. Several Black ones have been killed here in Virginia and down into North Carolina over the past year or so.
