I'd say wolf.

Very tall posture; looks wolfy to me.  Other thing that stands out is a more blocked than pointier snout than a yote.  Definitely not a dog.

Probably somewhere around McCall ID where Elknut resides.

That would be my guess as well since we don't have any wolves here in Washington!!!

Yes, this is in Idaho. The camera is at the nastiest smelling sulfur hole you've seen! (grin) It's got a very small trickle of water in it but seems to always have a puddle about 8'X8' amongst flat rocks, it draws in elk & deer. I had 1100 photos after it sat 7 days. Mostly elk & most the same cows & bulls & a few deer. Also have a kitty on one too.

  For those who are hesitant as to what this critter is here's a second photo that will clear up any doubt! (grin)

Thanks!The Cams are Browning BTC.5 - They are very small but have taken photos 40 yards away with them. The wolves were 20 yards out. Thanks!
