Wolf or not a Wolf? Opinions please

[BONE-SEEKER]

This came up on my trail cam, unfortunately this is the best pic I have of it. Looks like there is a red collar on it (not sure if this could be a GPS collar). I have had a few hikers on this cam but nothing within weeks of when this popped up.

Looks woofy to me?

Looks more wolf to me than coyote! Is it just me or does it have a radio collar on it

Curled up tail.  It's a dog.

Husky or malamute...everything about it's stance and tail say dog.

  tail makes me pretty confident it is a dog

Curled up tail.  It's a dog.

USFWS Mexican grey wolf, remember many of their fake wolves had curled up tails and had to be shot. Too much dog in their breeding program

got to go with dog.

wolves don't generally walk with rear feet apart like that - tracks are closer together.....

Domestic dog. 

On these "wolf or not" threads...anyone else notice that a significant number of them turn out that the consensus of forum members is that it is not a wolf?

And on a related topic...notice how some folks villify WDFW for "hiding" how many wolves there are because a biologist occasionally has the audacity to suggest to some folks what they saw or got a photo of was not a wolf?

I wonder if the "wolf or not" posts to Hunt-WA are similar to what WDFW gets called about on a regular basis?  Food for thought.
