Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints ID help, coyotes or wolves?

I'd say plain old domestic dogs. I use trail cams a lot on public land (USFS and BLM) and am amazed how many domestic dogs take themselves for walks far from home without their owners knowledge.


One of my best friends was a state nuisance animal trapper. He caught the same German shepherd about 5 miles from home 3 times the same week. He knew the dog and the owner. The last time he picked up a limb and gave the dog a good thrashing before releasing him and he never caught or saw him again. The point is that we have no idea where our unrestrained dogs go at night or what dogs they pack up with and pillage just like they are coyotes and wolves. I have several black neighbors who love dogs like Alaskan husky, pit bull, and chow. When they show up in my cow herd, well too bad.
