Spending a lot of time in the woods and going back and forth from my hunting sites I've seen another odd critter crossing the road twice this year. Mrs. Meek saw the second one so I'm not totally hallucinating.
It is about 14 inches high and maybe 20 inches long, sandy or light brown in color. Its hair is short and ears are rounded like a cat or possum. It has a long face like a possum, but it's head is smaller in proportion to its body, more like a weiner dog without the long ears. The back is sraight and the nose points downward at a right angle to the neck like that of a goat or deer and not forward like a pig's. It trots like a small deer, indeed it could be a deer if it weren't so small.
Fox? Nope, no bushy tail, no prominent ears and no long hair.
Coyote? Nope, too small, no long hair, no prominent ears.
Deer? Nope, too small and head too small in proportion to the body?
Bobcat? Nope, more straight back, gait is like a trot and not a bounce.
Coon? Nope, color wrong, gait wrong, straignt and shoulders as high as butt.
Mink? Nope, trots instead of scurrying, head is wrong shape and back is more straight.
