I want to say no, but I have no evidence to back that up as it sure does look like one. Next time hit it and check.  Doesn't look like it's wearing a collar, that I'd hope a responsible dog owner would have on it, if it was domestic of some sort.  We have a shepard husky mix that I cannot walk in Idaho as he'd die of high rate lead poisoning.

Either a hybrid, or lobo that list his way, and fear of humans. Doesn’t look like a coywolf.

When was this taken? I had a video on my Ring on 10/2 of a dog (?) with this same running motion go by at 11:45 PM. I’m just over a mile south of Rowan.

Certainly looks like a wolf.  Won’t be catching many elk with that leg.  Probably surviving on pets and city deer.

Not my Video, I saw it on Krem 2 and wanted opinions of folks who have more experience than me. My understanding this was taken last week sometime.

One of my relatives sent that to me yesterday and he took the video. He said it was a wolf no doubt. I agree with him its a wolf. From just seeing the video I can see where you might think really big yote. He spends a ton of time in the woods and knows what he is looking at.

If this is true (not doubting it) then I agree plus I thought wolf from the video anyways.
Videos never give size enough justice.
It looks plenty  bigger than a coyote to me so I can’t imagine how large it was in person  :twocents:
