"Among coyotes trapped in Texas, a noticable number have been bitten by rattlesnakes. The scars are unmistakable, mainly on shoulders and front legs, less often on hind legs, sometimes on the head. Hide and hair never grow back over the wound; it is covered, when healed, with a thin, bare, dark tissue."
...says Joe Hill in a Dobie book.
Anyone ever seen this???? Sounds interesting!

I've always heard coyotes are very good at killing rattlers, especially around a den. But, Texas has a pile of them, it makes sense, in a way?
Good hunting. LB
