So the really, really ugly chicks, I'm talking the double sack types, the michelle obama jobbers, the pelosi's of the world, are they coyote ugly or dog ugly*
I was out riding around on a county road and had stopped to pull over and take a look when a rancher pulled up and asked if I was allright?, I told him "yeah, I was just looking for dogs", his response was "did you lose some", from then on I always say coyotes when I talk to anyone about them.
whenever i ask a landowner i refer to them as coyote, when i talk to other predator hunters i say dog as a kind of metaphor! either way i ask they tell me no because they have cattle they dont want harmed! so im usualy in the timber with a shotgun!

They aren't part of the antelope family either... North American Pronghon if you please. They are a completely unique species... so calling them "antelope" is the same as calling them "goats"...
