that's too bad. I just went for a 5 hour hike w/ my dog over on a mountain I hunt a lot. see one deer, lotsa tracks. not coyote kills though.i did find a dead fisher cat I thought was strange. I couldn't determine the cause of death. I wouldn't have found it if whelen hadn't gone on point on it lol. there was a really rotten poplar tree, I suppose a branch could have broke and he fell to his death?? maybe it was ill.
