snout of a yote
Interesting.... The snout says coyote and the ears say wolf, but I would say that it is a coyote.Look at the ears it is a wolf
Ok. What is this one??
how the heck woudl you ever get a female wolf to stand for a male houes dog or the other way around is behond me . i just canot belive thy would cross breed in the wild most yotes around here run like heck at the first wiff of a dog that is bigg enought to breeed with . thy get huntted pretty hard here in southern ont
You are right Robert. That is one of our famous eastern coyotes or cry wolves a 6o pounder in captivity.
I think what is throwing the western members is they are familiar to the big gray wolves but that is not what they say crossed with our coyote, many say it was red wolves thought to be extinct here but later found to be still in existance. But I am only quoting what I read who knows.
Here is a link with some good info on the publications page and interesting pictures

there are some coywolf hybrids, but they usually got got features from BOTH wolf and coyote. The original post looks 100% wolf to me. Here another half and half I think
That is one mean looking animal. What would he be for weight 85 or better

1 dead coyote = 1-2 More deer and several dozen more rabbits and grouse
1 dead wolf = a dozen plus more deer.

Fixed it for ya..
It has been shown over and over that hunting/trapping/poisoning etc. have zero impact on coyote populations. Bang away, have fun, but don't imagine that you are going to keep their numbers in check.
It's true that we can't make any significant impact on coyote numbers,ranchers have spent literally BILLIONS in the USA trying to eradicate coyotes over the last century to no avail.That said,shooting yotes in winter when they are preying on vulnerable,yarded deer certainly helps the deer out and every female yote you whack means one less litter of hungry mouths to feed come fawning time.
Bang away,whack it onto'em.....it can only help.
So, what do I win

DVxdude, if that is a #3 coilspring trap on his front foot, like I think it is, that is a wolf, just by proportion. Ya, I may be a redneck by judging its size alone?.
Also the forehead is more pronounced and skull seems bigger than a coyote, but the snout still looks a bit mousey.... but Id bet that is a wolf.. Just look at the forearm on the thing, its huge compared to a coyote.
You guys from out west and Ontario don't realize how big the yotes are here in NS.60lbs isn't unusual at all,a thirty pound yote would be small.Here's a strange looking one somebody got a few years ago and sold to DNR,they had it mounted.

Might not for a house dog with all that people scent, but who knows with a dog that's outside all the time. Had a couple tail me and doggums once. They came pretty close too. I may have had a fight on my hands if I was farther away from my vehicle. They weren't scared at all.
My friend almost lost his dog to a large coyote. He ran away to draw her out and when they were a ways away, he turned and came at her. And she's a rangy 50 lb. farm dog.

Those sure seem small. As other posters noted, some coyotes get pretty big. I seen one in Predator Extreme(?) that was huge; I think 80 lbs. or something. The article was called "Oldest Coyote in (some state?)".
I believe it was in one of my Gun Digests there was an picture showing a few wolves that were killed and they were all a good deal over 100 lbs. One of the guys in the pic. was 6'3" and those wolves were longer (and bigger looking) than he was.
