I thought I would throw in another picture of a 2.5-3.5 year old doe, standingin the same spot,for size comparison.....

I don't know about whether they have wolves in Wisconsin, but his feet look to big and his coloring doesn't look like a coyote. Dog or wolf...

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

I see your listed as WI and Canada, where was this pic taken?

This is one I honestly don't know. I voted wolf but if it's a coyote, it's one of the biggest ones I've ever seen.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

you might want to post this in the small game/predator forum....those guys should know!!

i voted wolf because it looks to big to be a coyote.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dog.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dog, and fed by a man.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

There are wolves in wisconsin. I think they were relesed and here are pics of coyote and siberian husky for comparison.

my vote is wolf.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Looks like a mixed dog to me.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

I think that is a wolf! It's coloring and head do not look like a dog!!

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Coy-dog...rest assured Dan knows, He's testing us! ;)

It's not a straight Husky..at least not one I'm familiar with.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dog...Definately....

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

looks identical to a husky sheppard mix! I voted dog!

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

It's a dog

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Wolf, but it could be a wild dog that is part coyote. It wouldnt be the first one ive seen.

Some dogs will pack up with the coyotes and they willlive together. Therefor when mating season comes around

They have half dog and half coyote pups. Here in Oregon, it isnt abnormal to see dogs runnin with the yotes.

Just my 0.02...............

poodle???

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Wolf no doubt. Seen a bunch of them in U.P. that look just like that particular one.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

The markings look like one BIG Coyote to me but the way he is moving with his tail straight up is more like a Dog, but I'm not ruling out Wolf because of the sheer size!

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

It's not a coyote. I really think it's a mixed breed dog of some type. I'm having a hard time judging the size, for lack of perspective. But I get the feeling it's larger than a coyote and not quite as big as a wolf. It's also a female and I would expect it to have some younger pups with her by now.
I guess they might have been around but not in the picture.

I say mixed breed dog.

Looks like a wolf to me.They are in a lot of areas of WI and there range is expanding. We have a pack near our property in Clark County.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

I would vote for part wolf and part dog. :)

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

it does have some big paws so I don't think its a coyote its a toss up for me between wolf or dog so i'll say a mix of the two

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

definately not a coyote,too big and wrong coloring, maybe a wolf, where exactly do you live?

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Looks to me alot like what you are holding in your avatar im goin with wolf. i guess it could be some kind of dog....

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Saarloos wolfhound, it's a dog but with close dna structure of that of a wild wolf.....

http://www.saarlooswolfhond.org/

it's very rare and expensive dogbreed but, it has it's origin in the wild crossbreeds, so this one might be a lucky offspring.....

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

I threw in another pic on the first page, for size comparison. ;)

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dan do you know what this is or are you trying to figure it out?????

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dan,

Wholly...the doe was lucky she wasn't there an hour later. ;)

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

No kidding.....there was another deer there 31 minutes after this "thing" left.;)

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

14 votes for Dog, and 5 for coyote? Are you guys serious?

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

I know James, Sometimes I really wonder about my fellow hunters....and to think, some of them think bobcats are mountion lions. [&:]

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

way to small to be a wolf. I say husky, not all huskies has the markings in the above pic. many huskies look just like wolves, only smaller.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Dog. The ears are a little too small to be a wolf, and it is well-fed as well.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Sure looks like a wolf to me. Way too big boned for a coyote.

Hard to judge a wolf by the color. I've seen them every shade from black to white.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

My vote is for wolf also, that would be one big dog. The legs look shorter than some wolves, and it's feeding good, but could be cornfed now eh?

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

No kidding.

It is with out a doubt a timber wolf with a full belly.That one looks like it is in that 80-100 pund range. I see them at least once every 2 weeks. I have pics of one with a radio collar on one of my bear baits from a week ago. Wisconsin has them all over and it is by no means out of the ordinary to see them in the northern half ofWisconsin.

I voted wolf but it is my understanding that wolves do not have rear dew claws and it looks like that animal does.

Dogs can get rather large too, one of mine weighs 110lbs and I keep him somewhat slim.

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

WOLF!!

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Wolf and coyote, you guys crack me up.:eek: It's a fricken dog or domesticatedhusky/ wolf hybrid. Not a full fledge wolf. Case closed.:D

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

Only the alpha male and female will breed, and by September they are no longer pups!!!

RE: Coyote, wolf, or????
 

50% Wolf
50% Coyote
50% dog

[8D]

In reality, that's a wolf
