Why would a coyote have a collar on? Is it a wolf being tracked by F&W? Canid for sure.

Where was the picture taken? Doesn't look like a yote and not quite like a wolf either, almost looks like a hybred. Strange critter.

I concur with .300 winmag and C-money. Strange looking animal. The long snout and appearance of being long legged makes it look like that of a wolf.  But the rusty brown coloration visible makes it look like a coyote. But why would a coyote be wearing a collar? ..... strange indeed.

If the date stamp is accurate and given the plant stage, I would say Michigan collared study wolf. The hair and body condition would be normal for summer.

And one more thing. Remind me to never post a picture of my hunting area kill sites, if you can almost call the state 1800 miles away from a stamp and some plants. It would take you about 45 seconds to be on the ridge above me.  :chuckle:  Well actually I am on the top of the ridge so beside me then.

Can you say the general area in WI?  The wolves have spread almost all the way down the entire western part of WI now.  A buddy of mine has pictures of them as far south as Tomah almost 5 years ago.  Of course, that not according to the DNR there.  I also wondered why a coyote would have a collar on it.  That actually looks like one of my neighbor's mutts.
