    WOW!
    Subject: Miracle coyote

    As you read the story you are sayin to yourself…No Way! Then you see the pictures and ‘get ‘ how this happened!

    Meet the wiliest of all coyotes: Hit by a car at 75mph, embedded in the fender,road for 600 miles – and SURVIVED!
    When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on.
    They didn’t realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a hit-and-run.
    Eight hours, two fuel stops, and 600 miles later they found the wild animal embedded in their front fender – and very much alive.
    Daniel and Tevyn East were driving at night along Interstate 80 near the Nevada-Utah border when they noticed a pack of coyotes near the roadside on October 12.
    When one of the animals ran in front of the car, the impact sounded fatal so the siblings thought there no point in stopping.
    ‘Right off the bat, we knew it was bad,’ Daniel explained. ‘We thought the story was over.’
    After the incident around 1am, they continued their 600 mile drive to North San Juan – even stopping for fuel at least twice.
    But it was only when they finally reached their destination at 9am did they take time to examine what damage they may have sustained.
    At first it looked as though it was going to be quite gruesome.
    ‘[Daniel] saw fur and the body inside the grill,’ Tevyn East said. ‘I was trying to keep some distance. Our assumption was it was part of the coyote – it didn’t register it was the whole animal.’
    Daniel East got a broom to try and pry the remains out of the bumper and got the shock of his life.
    ‘It flinched,’ Tevyn East said. ‘It was a huge surprise – he got a little freaked out.’

    ‘We knew it was bad’: Tevyn East, who was in the car when it hit the coyote, bends down to take a look at the fur poking through the fender

    Fur Pete’s sake: What Mr. East spotted as he bent down to inspect the damage to his car – the body of the coyote poking out through the radiator

    Wily coyote: The animal’s head can be seen as rescuers took apart the front fender to save it after it was struck by the car at 75mph

    Miracle escape: As the animal struggled, wildlife protection officials put a loop around its neck to prevent it from further injuring itself

    The front of the car is completely taken apart as the coyote begins to wriggle free

    And voila! Tricky the toughest coyote ever rests in a cage after its ordeal – which it survived with just some scrapes to its paw

    I’m not sure what is wierder. The story with pics or the stupid comments some of those bunny huggers posted?

    “I hope they returned him to his pack, or as close as they could get. Poor guy.” and “Amazing, what a tough little critter, 600 miles from where he wants to be. Hope they get him back to his family!”?????? It’s amazing how out of touch some of the morons can be.

    While I don’t promote animal cruelty or torture. COME ON, it’s a coyote people!

    Awwwww, C’mon, Ruger, weren’t you sad for that fuzzy, wuzzy, widdle wyl-e-coyote just waiting to be rescued and returned to its happy widdle family???

    What would be great is to nurse that thing back to health, go to realease him back “to his pack”, watch him bite the hand that is trying to release him, then have him meet a 55 gr varmint round from the hunter down the fencerow. Not THAT video would be worth seeing. LOL

    BTW, in the third picture he looks about ready to rip the hand off of the person who is trying to “rescue” him from the engine compartment…

    Hey, I’m not here to judge. If that’s the lifestyle you choose to lead, I understand.

    Can’t believe that it rode 600 miles against the radiator Would has thought the whole side of it would have been burnt or cooked from the heat of radiator

    Why didn’t they just him in the F~n head so a bullet hole wouldn’t mess up the pelt Then they could mail the damn thing to the honchos at PETA. I think that ‘hit and run’ was more cruel than a 55gr Nosler ballistic tip at 3K – FPS from my .243…at least he wouldn’t know what hit him

    That coyote would have looked a lot better on a nice basswood stretcher or like this

    Just imagine if it went through the windshield like this deer did and make this kind of mess
