Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Big Coyote, really big.

Not like any coyote I've ever seen, that's a wolf.

I've never shot a wolf - but I have shot a whole bunch of coyotes and none of them ever looked like that critter.

That is no coyote!

Can't be a wolf. That thing is only 81.4 lbs. Everyone here knows that wolves are always AT LEAST 150 lbs if they are an ounce. So, gotta be a coyote.

80lbs. is about right for a male wolf east of the Mississippi, 100 lbs. would be a large one.

Oh Really?????

that's just some BS spread by a bunch of Eastern Wolf huggers that try to pass them off as cute little darlings.

EVERYONE knows the murderous bastards are at least 150 lbs and most are over 200. What the hell is wrong with you?

That's a face only another wolf would love! I shot this one late Nov it weighed 72 lbs. ..that dude must think everybody fell off the turnip truck!

Regardless or weight, the animal in the photo is definitely a wolf.

There we have it. There's no possible way it could be a wolf. It does look and quack like a duck though.

I vote yes, it is a wolf. But will bet the guy wins a rifle!

Time for a new scale.

If your gubermint tells you it ain't a duck, then it ain't a duck... until the left hand comes along and says that not only is it a duck, but ducks are illegal to kill, and it just so happens they've decided to fine duck shooters $500 everytime they shoot one...

Serioiusly if that isn't a wolf I don't know what the heck is. I've not shot a TON of 'yotes, but if I saw that thing around my hunting area I'd practice the SSS routine...

"Fleming wasn't sure whether the animal was a coyote or a wolf because the tracks were so big. However, Fleming was told at a government-sponsored coyote seminar a month ago there are no wolves in Newfoundland."

There may not be any now, but there was at least one!

As the article states, coyote bread with a wolf, result= Very large mutt with wolf characteristics. I've heard of these cases before. I guess they are not all that uncommon.

Please post the results of the DNA paternity test of who's the daddy. Interesting one to follow. If it is a cross breed mutt, Does he still get the new rifle???

BJ

It will be interesting to see what the DNA results come up, I suspect a mixture of dog-coyote-wolf.

It appears the coyote is only a recent arrival on the rock.

The eastern coyote is found throughout eastern North America. It is not native to the island of Newfoundland. It was first sighted in 1985 off the Port au Port Peninsula, and the first specimen (road killed) was confirmed in 1986 in the Hughes Brook area.

And there again, it could be someone's escaped hybrid.

A hunter shot a "really big" coyote down by Grand Island about 5-6 years ago. Took it to the G/F guys. They did some tests and determined that it was a wolf (OMG) and then spent about 6 months trying figure out how to charge the poor hunter with a crime.

Game cops finally let it go...

Wouldn't wolves eat a coyote rather than breed with it? And yeah, this could be an escapee.
