If you think they are wolves come to Maine! It has been documented that at times coyotes do in fact take down moose. The coyotes here are known as the eastern coyote. They are a cross between wolve and coyote making the a hybred killing machine. Yes they take a lot of prey from the hind leggs as well. It is not uncommon for an adult coyote to reach 80lbs. here. However most that are shot or trapped are normally smaller as they are the younger ones.
If you think them are yotes please come here to Wisconsin and do some yote hunting. We could use some wolf population thinning.

The 80 lb thing is incorrect.. no matter where they dont grow that big.. Yes, the eastern coyotes are bigger but not 80 pounders.. 45-50 usually.. whereas western coyotes go around 30-35

Also, coyotes dont usually hunt in groups of seven. That is another characteristic of wolves --hunting in bigger packs.
And them look like wolves not coyotes. I have a feeling anyone who says them are yotes hasn't seen wolves in the wild.
