My father-in-law was telling us that when he was growing up in the country about 40-50 years ago, many of the ranchers acutally kept packs of greyhounds for hunting coyotes. He said they'd use small packs of three greyhounds and one or two scenthounds. The scenthound would track the coyote, and the greyhounds would run the coyote down and kill it once they came within sight.
I was intrigued, since I've never heard of greyhounds being used for anything other than racing in recent years. I've only heard of scenthounds still being used in their traditional working roles. Do people still hunt with greyhounds? Or any other sighthound, for that matter?
