Dear Hunter,
Because you have reported hunting in or near an area where wolves occur, WDFW wants to remind you to be extra careful of your target if you intend to harvest coyotes. The gray wolf is protected under both federal and state law and may not be shot or killed. Wolves are larger than coyotes, weighing 80-120 pounds versus 20-50 pounds for coyotes. Wolves also have relatively shorter, rounder ears and a broader muzzle than coyotes. These and other differences between wolves and coyotes are shown in the following illustration, which also appears on page 73 of the 2010 big game hunting rules pamphlet. If you have trouble viewing the illustration, it can also be found at
