ok wait a minute now. the coyotes in maine have wolf genes in them. what?? in that case they would be classified as a whole new species. i'll boil that down to misinformation. but if you can PROVE me wrong, i'll eat my words. as far as PA not being able to produce yotes of that size, i wouldn't doubt if there were some out there. there are coyotes EVERYWHERE around here but they are seldom seen..... only heard. i've seen one yote in the woods and he is now dead. i never had him weighed but he was big. i kept him in the freezer for quite awhile in order to save up some cash to get a full body mount but gave up on that idea (too many other things to spend money on) and gave him to a friend to give to a friend to mount.
