Texas gov. shoots, kills 'wily' coyote during jog

[Brett]

At least he can shoot.

If he misses a coyote with a laser-sighted handgun...

Yah, 'yotes usually won't come near humans... but if Perry was jogging and the dog was lagging behind or was ahead a ways I don't see why a coyote wouldn't confront the dog... or maybe the dog sniffed out the coyote and confronted it...

as for a coyote being out during the day it's probably more common than you think... they for sure hunt in packs at night, but I see them during the day quite a bit, usually solo and on the move... hell coyote hunts are done during the day...

I almost want to call it BS, and say he's trying to wrap up the "shoot things" vote, but I think he knows he already has that vote, so why piss off the "save the song-dog" crowd?

as much as I dislike this sob I gotta say this story, though odd, is for SURE not out of the realm of possibility... right place at the wrong time and I can for sure see it happening...

I'll say it's true...

Well from his own account the coyote never even attacked the dog, it just seems it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. How I read it: It came into the view of a political hack in need of street cred. I seem to remember a time in recent years when another man named Dick Cheney peppered a spectator for the same reason.

The story reeks of b.s to me. A coyote will not run towards someone and try to attack their dog when they are out jogging. Usually they run away as quick as possible at the sight of a human.

The gay cowboy makes himself seem macho....

gullible voters eat this shit up.


where's the dead animal??????

He should have Wrastled with it instead.
