Default Coyote or wolf? SG 550 + Eneloop AA's lasts 6 months!

Just retrieved my Scoutguard 550's from the woods after being out there for 6 months. Crazy, but they were still going strong after 6 months and 1.6 GB of pictures on 8 low-discharge rechargable AA batteries (Eneloops in one and Imedions in the other). Couldn't believe it. Awesome performance!

So...wolf or coyote? I'm thinking coyote, though compared to the size of deer in the pics thought maybe it could be a wolf:

Here are the best of the pics. The bobcat is cool!

I really don't think that's a yote but I'm not ready to say it's a wolf either. It looks more like a dog to me. Not sure.

Central Minnesota. 800 acres of private land, and fairly unlikely it's a dog. There have been a few wolf pack sightings in the past couple of years, so there is a chance it's a wolf. Would have been easier if he had turned around for the camera.

yeah but based on how big those back legs are it sure looks like a wolf to me, even big yotes aren't close to that big around here i wouldn't think (i'm in the cities). If you look how big the doe is standing in the same spot i don't think there's much chance of it being a coyote. my .02 anyways.

Coyote - for sure in my mind. Doesn't look like a dog at all to me, not sure what you guys see that makes you say that.

not a coyote IMHO. The length of the fur, the stature tends to make me think wolf or a wolfx...Too much brown fur with the black tints on the upper back for a coyote, at least in these parts.

My Scoutguard batteries last a long time regardless of what batteries I use when the weather is warmer but once the temps start dropping I use Lithium batteries.

That looks like a dog to me.
