Chief Rick Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 This was taken with a trail cam, San Diego county, CA. I don't have any experience with wolves and very little with coyotes.
Slapshot Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I'm no expert on the subject by far. But if I was to guess I'd say yote, but looks the color of a wolf.
Yul Lose Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Mexican gray wolf and coyote hybrid. Very possible down here.
Warden Callaway Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Missouri Department of Conservation said this was a coyote.

Michigan Slim Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 This was a big one. Real tall. Kaya thought it was a Husky at first. There is another one that looks just like the OP that followed her to her stand. Bigger than this one. The DNR says there is wolf DNA in some.
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 There is a great deal of yote&domestic dog crosses out there.

That’s a big fluffy coyote. I am planning on ridding PA and WV of some of those next year.

She never warmed up to it like that .44!

The off sides of them don't look so good when an XTPHP exits almost the size of a quarter. That one took two in short order.

The last one I got was half that size There is a lot of variation without the dog genes. Yotes are bigger from northern states aka Bergmann's Rule. Also, at one time there was around 11 different species of coyotes in the US. Since the Gene Jockeys got involved in taxonomic classification that number most likely has changed.
Michigan Slim Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I have property in northern Michigan and I've never seen any as big as in Indiana. Odd as I thought it would be reversed. They take a lot of deer up there though. We find one almost every time we go. They took one in the yard when we were there one time. Pretty nasty.

She never warmed up to it like that .44! Ha! I guess I should have zoomed in on the gun. My Marlin is a 30-30 with the straight stock. It will probably end up wearing a scope but I plan to install some XS Sights on it, which I think will be good woods sights. I have them on my Winchester 94 carbine and like them very much.
Michigan Slim Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I'd post a picture of her 336 but I'm not allowed in her safe.......

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 In NH, coyotes are open season. Eastern Wolves are protected, since they are a subspecies of the Timber Wolf, it is not clear where the Timber Wolf stands but there are none here anyway. not protected are hybrids, wolf crossed with dogs or yotes. Also not protected are wolves raised as puppies and released (an autopsy will show the difference, the bone composition is different).
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Oh by the Way would YA All like to import some more of Our Northern Timber Wolves, for Yellowstone and area ? We will Gladly sell you some more, how about double the number of Nice fluffy Wolves you got last time, we have plenty to spare .... Better yet how about we trade you Wolves for Elk .... Jabez Cowboy
