Is this a coyote?
 

Looks awfuly big for a yote. Wouldnt be the first time a timber wolf has had its picture taken in the midwest.

I agree thats awful big to be a coyote. Looks more like a young wolf...

I lived in Alaska for twenty years...that's a wolf!

Where in WI was the pic taken? Regardless I say wolf.

It is in Dane county about 10 miles south of Mt. Horeb

I would say Wolf!

Definite wolf, I'd probably mistake it for a coyote during deer season.

either a monster youte or wolf although ive never seen a wolf and in the first pic I'm pretty sure he was looken into my sole I looked at the picture and got goosebumps!

That has to make a guy feel good when walking to the stand in the dark.:jaw:

I'm not an expert but I would say it was a hybrid yote. Probably a cross between a yote and a german sheperd. Or something along those lines.

I'd say wolf :confused0024:

Looks like some of the coydogs that have shown up around here.

There are several features that are wrong for a coyote. It could be a young wolf or a coydog.

I'm not that far from you. I'll keep my eyes open.:s1:

love the picture, wolves can make your hair stand on end, I was sitting in the stand two years ago and had four come in to a grunt, right up the shooting lane, as soon as they spoted me they circle behind and howled, i have some footage of it i will try and load it on our webpage www.nwoproductions.com be on the look out for it.

DUstin

i would agree, looks like a young wolf

Wolf
 

That is a wolf. NO QUESTION

wolf wolf wolf, that first picture is a bit errie to look at though.......

thats a wolf

Durn soon as i saw its face i knowed you gotstid a wolf ! Deer killing machine!

Don't think it is a coyote. It looks too big and has too broad of a muzzle. I'd say it is a wolf or coywolf hybrid.

The DNR's wildlife biologist has confirmed this to be a coyote. Said it maybe a cross but it is for sure a coyote. Thanks for all the input.

Im not a wildlife biologist, but with my experience in the woods and hunting coyotes, I would disagree with him. Who am I to say one way or another though. Looks like a wolf to me!!!

Even though the DNR deny having wolves thats what it is, i encountered 2 wolves and a bobcat in our woods and the cat attack my archery target!!!!!!!!

too small to be a wolf..i dont mean height..it could be part dog, but it has coyote features.

It's a wolf

x2, that is a creepy lookin picture. very cool tho

Of coarse your DNR said it was a coyote instead of a wolf. If they admitted it was a wolf they would have issues..

I have never seen a wolf in the wild but I have killed TONS of yotes. That, my friend, is not a coyote.

It sure looks like a young wolf to me seems to big to be a yote

undoubtedly lol id have to fling one at him, i mean yotes do enough to deer, wolves are a whole other story
