I put an orange collar on my wolf for this very reason....
We trust folks so much that during rifle deer season (especially), the whippet boys wear hunter orange vests with reflective strips on them too.
And we have them on leash the whole time.
If it was just locals, we might not worry so much. We all pretty much know what a 'yote looks like (and they don't look like whippets) but being in an X zone we get a lot of folks up here from the civilized areas that draw tags. And we don't trust them.
