you thought coyotes were bad

I had a critter here a week or two ago that I thought was too big for a coyote and was afraid to shoot thinking it could be a wolf. I don't need that kind of trouble, so it walked. Now I'm wondering.........?

I had a black wolf with a straw colored wash on his breast a couple of years ago. He killed a deer 250 yards from my living room window. The deer was dead, so I just watched him feed for 40 minutes.

I know we have a few Coydogs in our area, wife said she seen one that made my dog nick look small and hes a 90 lb Ausy Lab mix. I have been told we have wolves in the area but i have never seen em, they say they are gray wolves but the only wolves I know of that are even in texas are Mexican red wolves but I guess you never know.

being from oklahoma iv cn a few hybrids........personally im more concerned with dog/coyotes than i am with wolf/ coyotes(iv heard of wolves in oklahoma but never seen any proof).............................at least wolves dont go kill crazy ...when dogs get into packs they often do.......we had several show pigs killed this spring they wernt eaten, they just killed them and left them........we set up our game camera and got pictures of the dogs(there were 5) and they were put down legally........(although i was for drivin up and shooting them in the owners front yard)

Discovery must be a little slow on the uptake. The typical Eastern coyote has long been known to have Great Lakes and/or Red wolf DNA. That's why they're generally bigger that the Westerns and harder to kill.
