This ain't a Coyote!

[VLD Pilot]

Caught this on my trail cam in a place I occasionally elk hunt in Idaho. That ain't a coyote!

I've had a trail cameras up in this general area for years and this is the first time I've captured a wolf on one. There have been rumors of wolves in the area for some years now by ranchers. I've never seen or heard one while hunting. But now I have proof. And it ain't good!

Just a look at the head says...Wolf.

Set some fishing line (high strength)and treble hooks in the trees and bait with meat, high enough that they have to jump a bit to get the meat and it leaves them hanging. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

A "TROTLINE" for wolves ??? GREAT IDEA !!!!
A lot of us that have set trotlines for catfish should have NO trouble rigging a line between 2 trees .
Heck , you might even catch more than 1 at a time .

Coywolf. Our Wildlife Resources agents have been talking about coyotes interbreeding with wolves and dogs and how it's made a much larger species now. Your picture makes me believe it.

For all you guys that hate wolves and cats so much and want them gone start sending me some GPS 6-8 digit MGRS grids in my direct messages!

This definitely isn't a coyote/wolf hybrid. You can't tell from the picture, but this wolf is way larger and taller. Even the head is much larger. Here is a link to the full video (the datestamp is wrong--I forgot to reset the date when I put it out) : Trail Cam - wolf, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W-u5FHfMgrMavOWIz65TviotbToIIXQn/view?usp=sharing

I tried to find some coyote vids from this trail cam to show the difference, but I usually delete them because I'm just interested in elk and deer.

The wolf around here in Idaho are huge and usually drive out many of the coyotes when they are in the area. They are very territorial. I have a hard time believing a wolf would let a some love-struck, scrawny coyote mate with it - male or female.

Exactly, I just posted full video.

Here is a video of coyotes from another trail cam. (I wish I had one from the same camera but I already deleted all of them).

You can really tell the body and head difference between the one with coyotes and the one with the wolf.

I was really lucky that one of my bird dogs was not killed by one of these barbaric and illegal traps. Anyone who would leave that out in the wild to indiscriminately torture whatever unlucky animal eats it should suffer the same fate. You internet tough guys and your "SSS" armchair advice, having never even eyeballed a real one, you are real pieces of work.

If its legal in your state, and they are completely or mostly nocturnal, try baiting them under the light of the full moon on clear nights. We do it for feral hog control in TX. To shoot accurately, you dont need anything more than reasonably good optics and get them against a light colored background so you can see your reticle. Bang flop...

You're high as hell...that's just a beagle out rabbit hunting. Ain't no wolves in North America.

Increasing numbers of wolves and grizzlies as well makes me wonder if they will play a part in killing of a portion of humans during the end time...

I've never seen coyotes with that little hair on their tails ? Your trail cam pic is 100% wolf.

Hate to brake it to you but Washington has them in the north and in the south ( blue mountains ) on the east side so they are everywhere in between as well.
Be thankful Idaho is managing them Washington and Oregon are letting the leftist liberals city slickers make policies that are braking the backs of ranchers.
Wish we could live trap those cute furry little puppies and deliver them to king, pierce and thurston Countys here in WA. Those homeless camps are ripe for some good old pack kills.
