Yea-Looks like he is blind in his right eye, all the color is gone
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

I not a eye doctor, just going from past animal that I seen blind. For all I know he could see just fine. But I would try and sneak up on his right side if I was going to stalk him and shoot him. LOL

Maybe but I'll bet his right nostril works just fine.... ;D  I was thinking it looks like alot of husky dogs or horses have it alot too.

The husky dogs eyes do look like that some times. but this is a coyote.  I know some will say cross breed or left in the gen pull, but every one has there ideas. I am still leaning towards blind.

I attended a cook out at one of my friends years back.. One of the people there..Had one yellow eye and one brown eye.. So it could be this coyote had a birth defect..?????Also I think I might have seen a domestic dog  Husky that had one eye a different color then the other..

Last year while calling we had an animal come in and we could only see one eye glowing, that animal stayed in the same area for 20 minutes and would only move a little bit but never came closer than about 75 yards.  finally after nothing worked and i had no idea what it was, i started walking toward it and it ran and would stop and look back at me once in a while.  i could only ever see one eye glowing, my buddy said the same thing.  After checking the tracks in the snow it was a coyote.  must have had something wrong with the one eye.
