I've never seen a dog that likes a coyote or a coyote that likes a dog and it seems worse during breeding season. I would think it would be even more rare with wolves. I've never caught a coyote around that really showed and characteristics that might make you think th6e had domestic dog anywhere up close. So I don't think it freely happens here.

Since wolves were removed off the endangered species list, there are no regulations on them in Nebraska. You can take them anytime of the year just like coyotes.

Do the claws look like they have been trimmed? Keith That was my first thought on seeing the pics also. Same here. That forehead screams DOG to me. Not saying it isn't a wild critter just that it looks like a lot more domestic than wild. The forehead is one of the most distinctive differences between the two animals. Dog skull Wolf skull: I can't speak to coat colors but I know these guys below have likely never seen a dog in their former lives. Their ancestors 50 generations back could have I suppose. I have known one animal that I knew for certain was a half wolf/dog. Miserable critter. Couldn't bark.....just sort of wailed. A real handful in a dog team. His name was Ripper.....for a reason.

The beaver in my area are gone!! The wolf population is out of control!!!! The countless bear hounds killed, cattle, etc. I moved to the U.P. 20 years ago, and what the lawmakers in our capital of Lansing have let happen to our wildlife up here is disgusting! The UP was rich with traditions, camps, gatherings , passing down things from one generation to the next. Now, nobody comes “ up north” anymore during deer season. In 2014 I had pictures of 16 shooter bucks throughout the season. This year…. 2 , from September 1st through December. I can keep going but I won’t, we’d be here all day.

By being large and easily traveling long distances and very territorial it is a matter of time b4 they occupy a lot more land area. Bryce

You would think with wolves being common on three sides, Canada, MN and MT some one would catch a real wolf, rather than a cross. Is it that most wolves in the lower 48 are crossed, or does the ND G&F not want to deal with it? I have seen pictures of some and will admit they looked crossed up. Here they are release if alive.
