Richard

Coyote Hunting

The Palczewski brothers earned extra money hunting down coyotes for neighbors who had lost sheep. The hounds were bred especially for coyote hunting. They were a combination of greyhound, Irish wolfhound, and who knows what else. The hounds rode in the open trunk of Richard's car. Lucy was always the first to jump out to start the chase. Jake tackled the coyote. Then Mike would go in for the kill. The hound pen was located on the original homestead, behind Stanley and Marlene's existing house.
