the "coywolf"
« on: November 06, 2010, 08:50:20 PM »
Is there such a thing?  There are wolves here.  To the right, a normal sized female coyote.  To the left.  The Hulk Hogan of coyotes.

There are no wolves in this state...only big coyotes :)
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

That sure does look "wolf" like.  Looks like a red wolf.

There's coyote/wolf mixes back east but the bloodline mix goes quite  a ways back. There's no way IMO that a wolf is gonna be standing that close to a coyote without that yote getting her ass handed to her by said wolf.

 I was going to mention this same thing. The bloodlines back east do have wolf in them.

 From what I've read, I don't think we'd see any crossbreeding over here (west). In fact, the one benefit that Wyoming saw, at least shortly after the introduction, was an increase in pronghorn numbers. This was attributed to wolves killing coyotes, the pronghorn's #1 killer of young.

 With all that being said, I am FAR FROM AN EXPERT and am just throwing out a little bit of what I've read. (I do read a lot....kind of hobby of mine. And yes, sounds dull doesn't it?!...LOL)

  That 'yote on the left is one HUGE dog though. Never seen one that big that I can recall.

As far as I can tell he was all yote, but it sure fired my heart when I saw him.  Hes the biggest coyote I've seen I think.  Here is a long distance crop for closer examination.

I say bust out the 22-250 so we can get a scale weight on that sucka!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
