Is this a Wolf or a fox? You be the judge...

At first I thought it was a wolf but then looking at the pictures and comparing them to other pics on Google I think its a fox...  :twocents: I don't doubt for one second that there are wolfs in this area though.

Pointed nose, smallness, especially the front leg...makes me think fox.

Great article.
:fire.:

" 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

I talked to a guy on pinegrass ridge south of rimrock who says he saw two adults wolves and pups up there this season. My fater in law saw one near grey creek campground right before late elk opened. They are definitely in the Yakima area!

That's a fox, I have seen several of those black ones around darland. The picture angle makes it look much bigger.

Cascade Fox, and that color phase is pretty common for them.

I imagine all the extra wolves in the state won't be doing any favors for the few Cascade Red Foxes that live in the state.  I wonder if the wolf huggers ever considered that point when they decided how many wolves they wished to have here?  :dunno:
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

They have no concept of the effect it will have on other animals

Here is a silver fox and a wolf from last season (both are tanned and for sale by the way) :chuckle:

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I know a guy that saw a grey female collared, black male and 4 pups on pinegrass during early archery.
