Ok folks. Wolf or coyote, what say you?

Coyote

Coyote

I would be very interested to hear what makes you guys come to either conclusion?

Osky

canine

With out anything for size comparison, I say yote
And it has lice on it's back

Wolf, based on muzzle

nope,canine.

Muzzle does appear short and blocky in relation to head size, but I'm not sure we are seeing the entire muzzle in the photo.

Great so far, it's always interesting to hear what other outdoorsman see, or instinctively know wether looking at this, following a trail, reasoning out one of mother natures scenarios or whatever.

I've seen some coyotes with blocky short faces and short nose's . I'm saying this Is a coyote

Coyote, shorter muzzle.

My first impression was wolf. It's ears look rounded to me and it looks to be more than 40 pounds.

i'm sayin coyote too as our big males get that look til you touch em and they feel like a wire brush.

i do feel for ya's as somebody that has dealt with the coyotes showing up here from none to now and they can be up to 3 coyotes in one.

Osky did you get to see the tracks? Curious if you know what this was?

Wolf, rounded ears short muzzle/broad head.

Yes, I know what it was. There are things I see in the photo that would and did lead me to a conclusion. In this case I was correct and yes there were more photos. Disclaimer I certainly am not always correct.

Osky

Hard to tell from a photo. His body position is such that you can't really see proportions well, or length of legs, etc. The best way to tell would be to board him and see which one he fits.

I say coyote. What I see of the legs do not look stout enough for wolf.
