that is def/ no yote from illinois. one look at the coat. no summer coyote has a coat like that(thick). second the ears on it are more like a husky. it might be a coydog though... maybe

coydogs are all over illinois. and the us for that matter. its just a dog that got bred by a yote. happens all the time. i work with the game wardens here in illinois and they tell me about weekly calls on them.
