What do you thing this is?
« on: October 21, 2013, 07:50:18 PM »
Caught on cam in Babbitt, MN.  North East corner.  I grew up around there.  From and friend of my sisters.  Here is the link to Facebook https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=462051663913575&set=a.349512221834187.1073741827.100003262351090&type=1&theater  I think it is a hybrid.  Lots of sled dogs bred with wolves up there.

Looks like a dingo. The tail and the mane.

Hyenas are huge, at least the ones in East Africa are.  More like a bear than a dog

You're right. I was thinking Hyena and typed dingo. Definitely more Hyenish.

Me too. Definitely some dog species with mange.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Mange is a guess on the FB page too.  Just looks to big for a coyote though.  Wrong type of head for a wolf.  The ears and nose are shaped different.
