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.

Can't be a wolf, wolves are shy timid creatures that avoid humans, just ask WDFW...

This wolf was helping elderly and children safely cross the street. Part of the 80% doing "good things".

For comparison there are two wolves in this pic from my Oregon hunt.

The first wolf I saw in the lower 48 was in the parking lot at the Old Faithfull Lodge, dodging people but running between parked cars

It’s a wolf....but a smart one that knows traffic laws and stayed in his own lane almost throughout the video! Thank God for that now that they are in the city  :tup:

Anybody who thinks this is a coyote... I hope my you’re kidding.

" 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

Their trolling us.😉

I saw two monster yotes early last Saturday morning heading east just after crossing the Methow river by those circle sprinklers, and this thing is much larger.

Plus the gate and the behavioral movements of a wolf vs yote are quite different.

Urban yotes just duck off in some bushes, watch ya drive by, paying no mind he's cool, a city yote ain't running down the road like an idiot country wolf, tongue hanging out an stuff, all tired like a dang fool.

Well it’s tail isn’t curled, irs face is definitely not yote, I didn’t pet it so it’s hard to tell coat thickness, as for the legs I bet not all wolves have long ones.

It’s quaking wolf.🤔

Boss nailed it.  The gate and movement is defiantly wolf.   I've spent hours watching them on the hill across the river.

Size could be a BIG coyote, yeah, but everything else screams wolf (or hybrid) to me.  It's impossible to be 100% from a video like this, as wolf/husky hybrids can be VERY close to wolves morphologically. 

If I had to put money on it, though, my money's on wolf. 

Cool video  :tup:

Why do they keep spewing the same old line about wolves being wary of humans? They are wolves, they have no reason to be wary of anything.
