There was a wolf killed in Henry Illinois in the winter of 2003-2004 and I am told one was killed in Henry county this year. The one in Henry was a transient male from Minni (DNA testing) and I haven't heard much about the one from Henry County (This was a tale told by someone at the archery shop saying that his uncle killed one this year. He said it was confirmed but I never heard anything about it except from him and being that I run in livestock circles every wolf/couger sighting gets the jaws flapping and the news spreads like wildfire).

You can get some big coydogs though if they are crossed with the right breed. And I mean big, I saw one out west that was a Malamute X coyote and he weighed 95 pounds or something like that. (It was a freakishly large Malamute female that was bred to the coyote). He was a real sweet dog but jeez, big and wooly.
