Coyote

A  is an animal species of wild canine that are 'related' to contemporary domesticated dogs in Red Dead Redemption.

Coyotes can be found mostly everywhere, but mainly near Armadillo. They sometimes come in pairs, but generally won't attack unless they are in packs of 3-4.

The player can hunt and skin coyotes for fur and meat. They are also required to be shot as part of the Sharpshooter Challenges for both offline and Online. Coyotes may also attack John Marston or his horse but will run away once a gunshot is fired, they also do seem to be unwilling to attack you when you're on your Horse.

In single-player, there are Random Encounters throughout the game in which the player can save a person being attacked by 3-4 coyotes, and killing them will earn the player a small sum of money and fame as a reward.

Coyotes are smaller than wolves, and can also be distinguished by having whiny, high pitched howls. You are also more likely to see coyotes at night, rather than the daytime.

Of all the predators in free-roam, Coyotes are the weakest.

A good spot to hunt coyotes would be in the vicinity of the Hanging



Rock north of Armadillo or MacFarlane's Ranch.

A another good spot is anywhere in Mexico. Beware of Wolves though, as the two species can be easily confused.
