not in 1933 and 1934, there weren't.  that's gotta be some grift crap.

Maybe they just called coyotes wolfs back then?

[Katpappy]

Welp, there must be something to what farmers would say back when I was a kid, "there's so poor they ain't got a pot to crap in".

looking into it a bit, there seems to be some confusion as to whether the last wolf in kansas* was killed in 1905 or 1939, so i suppose there is a chance there was some wolf predation in 1933 and '34, but yeah, coyote is much more likely.



* confusion that has now been resolved - the actual last wolf in kansas was killed in 2012, a male that wandered down from minnesota.

I can tell you that shitting in that pan was frowned upon by my grandmother.

Always heard it as "pot to piss in" myself.

A relative just sent this to me today..  Pix of TomDad in 7th grade in 1948-49 one room school house.  He is right in the middle on his sled.  Corduroy shirt his mom made and overalls.  He told me years later he hated those shirts, but that's all they had. He was hot blooded so he rolled with no coat and the flaps up on his winter hat.  He was also sled champion per gma.

Dad didn't fit real well in the school desks.  One of the other boys would poke him with a ruler.  TomDad had enough so he dropped the kid with a blow to the head from his steel lunch pale.  Three day suspension, house visit from the district principal, but that was the end of the ruler poking.

I'm probably going to go coyote hunting with my cousin sometime this winter, could of gone with him one time last year but decided to look for more pheasant instead. He used greyhounds back in the day but now he just drives around in harvested fields at dusk until he see's a coyote then gets out and shoots it and sells it to the fur guy that comes around a couple times a year...Sounds fun!

[Institutional Control]

My dad was an avid coyote hunter when I was a kid.  I used to sleep in his Chevy Luv pickup while him and his buddies talked on their CBs trying to determine the location of their dogs and drank beers.

[steve dave]

I’ve shot one (1) coyote in my life and immediately felt bad.
