Got this guy on camera this morning. Cool pic but wish it wasn’t a K9. Looks like a healthy Yote to me but my but my buddy thinks it’s a wolf.

I agree with you Yote

 

[Tree Spud]

I think it's a yote. Ears & head are questions marks with rounded shorter ears. Has a shorter tail also. Slight chance a young wolf.

No wolf expert here, but that looks like every coyote I ever saw.

I second, all in approval, say aye

Yep - That is a coyote for sure Peeps. Here is a pic I got of a young wolf a few days ago:



Here is a pic of a black wolf from last year.







Here is a wolf one of my buddies got in a coyote trap....released it, of course.

We have lots of coyotes. They frequently visit my mineral blocks, and bobcats do as well.

He may have mange. All the coyotes I shoot have advanced heartworm infestation, and about a third of them have some degree of mange, ranging from 10% of their skin affected to 100% affected.

To be fair, the coyotes stay pretty thin this time of year here in Texas. They shed most of their coat to make it through the summer. It hit 111° today… you can’t handle that kind of heat with a thick coat.

Fair enough. I've only ever seen Midwest/Great Lakes coyotes.

Just curious, how are able to tell they have heart worm?

I cut their hearts out.

Usually this would be secondary to observing how the bullet performed. However, since I noticed heart worm in the first coyote I shot in Ohio, it has become something I check for every time I kill a coyote/hybrid.

JUst got this pic today. Wolf or yote? What say you??

 

[Mtyhunter]

Hard to tell, can't rule out a wolf, but my money is on a yote based on the ears

 

[Brian662]

Looks big to me, but I'm far from an expert on these matters..never seen a wolf other than pics.

Tuff to say from that photo would love to see the snout could be a large male coyote with a prime pelt or a wolf pup
