Phil.. I vividly remember you saying some guy caught a 78 pound coyote. Now just by what you've said and the picture of that thing it isnt a coyote.At best its half coyote, half wolf. So tell me, where are these Maine COYOTES that get up to 80 pounds??
You are correct and this is one of them, you should also remember me saying the Eastern Coyote? The coyotes here in Maine as well as most northeastern states are made up of the Eastern Timber Wolve and the Coyote. That is exactly where the name
Eastern was drawn from. They are in fact a hybred coyote. The state officals believe they made that cross when traveling here from out west. Most coyotes caught or shot here are the younger ones, andthis one is an adult one. Most all coyotes here are larger than the western ones. They also come in different color phases as well, some will look like a giant red fox, some silver, some black, some blondish,and some just like this one.
