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.

boy that looks way to big to be a yote, look at how long it's legs are. i'd say its a wolf. what part of the country you in?

I'm going with a regular old mutt dog as well.

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.

not sure what you see that makes you think its a coyote?? you must have a different breed of yotes in your area to even remotely think thats a coyote

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.

With view the other two pics of the animal in your album I would say that it is a wolf

It looks like a big German Shepard to me. But I guess a Wolf isn't out of the question........

Definately in the canid family!!!LOL!!! I'm not gonna' say one or the other, but then look how big that buck is compared to the doe. He's gonna' put a hurtin' on her!!!

I have pics of wolves with that same almost identicle coloring, but I have never seen a wolf with the tail curled up so much.

Looking at it again, maybe it just looks curled up being "wagged", its blurry like an action shot.

Really...? Doesn't look like a coyote at all to me, not sure what you see that makes you say it's a coyote. No doubt in my mind it's a german shepard/mix.

Looks like a yote.
