Wounded WOLF..... Ontario

I was told as the GS (general store) today that there is a pack of timberwolves around.. Lady up the road lost 2 sheep the other night and her son grabbed a 22 of all things and was shooting at them as they were feeding...

The kid (think he's 25) is an idiot, ran his ATV into a stone wall (drunk as could be) 2 years ago and can't really walk all that well but he's been known to shoot up things... First thing he shot up was his ATV.... Monday Night he apparently Killed one of the wolves and swears he got a couple more.. He also hit at least 2 sheep too..

Re:The idiot 25 year old kid.Is this not typical behavior from the locals in the Bancroft area?LOL.
Our deer camp is just east of Bancroft and this sounds like typical behavior from some of our local friends.
Cheers.

I don't think it's typical... At least not up here.. Maybe in the low rent areas right around bancroft... But up here the kid is not refferred to kindly...
 
Hard to tell from the pic what it is!

Best way is yotes have a narrow nose like a fox while a real timberwolf has a much more proportionally thick nose!

His winter coat will make him look a lot bigger but with-out something to relate the size to it's hard to tell.

wounded wolf ontario

that is deffinately a coyote, i have taken hundreds of coyotes with greyhounds and rifle, and have taken two timber wolfs with rifle,257 weatherby,one was 145 pounds and almost 8 feet long,just look at his narrow muzzle.A wolfs head is totally different.and last year i puchased a 204 ruger for coyotes, and i consider it an exellent coyote cartridge,40 grain hornady.i shot 19 coyotes last winter,17 were one shot drops.

Geeze REDD :confused: miss a deer yesterday??

I don't remember any post on here where anyone refered to a wolf-dog mix?
I personally don't believe it either.

From my limited experience :redface: there is a distinct diff in size between a Timber wolf & a "brush wolf", "coyote", "yote," whatever you choose to call our common S Ont wolves). The immiture Timber I shot wAy up north was about 50lbs but the track of some of the rest of it's clan were twice it's size :eek: while the mature ones shot down here averaged 40-50lbs.

My guess is the one above is a "brush wolf"
 
Its a yote...however, the confusion might be from the local acceptable name.
In that area, the Yotes are called "brush wolves". So, yes...it's a wolf, but not a "true" wolf.

Kind of the walleye/pickeral or Grouse/Partridge thing. Only one is correct....but the local people dictate what they are called.

Looks like a coyote to me too. Ears too big for the head and the muzzle's too pointed to be a wolf. Without a size reference though it's not for sure. Eastern coyotes do have a significant amount of Wolf DNA in them from cross breeding which accounts for the size differences and color variations of Eastern coyotes. I have personally handled 55-60 pound coyotes while on PEI.

Out in Alberta though if you can't be sure whether the animal you see is a wolf or a coyote then it is definitely a coyote. The wolves are massive and when you do see one there is no doubt as to what it is.
