anyone ever tried to make one into a pet?

No personal experience on this, but people I have met over the years say you can turn a skunk into a pet, you can turn a bobcat into a pet, but coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, etc are wired to be wild. You can tame them, but they always act a little wild (skittish, aggressive), and one day they just take off and don't come home any more. I knew an old rancher in Baker, Oregon who had raised just about every kind of animal you can imagine from newly born to adulthood. He had tame weasels, skunks, deer, hawks, bobcats, you name it. He was adamant about coyotes being one of the wildest of them all.
