Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: inchtowntracking on September 19, 2013, 09:04:02 PM: This was in Inchelium, in our buttercup housing complex. The complex is fenced and the "wolf" was freaking out because it couldn't find it's way out of the fence. It sat there long enough for me to get a picture and then ran off pretty fast. The only reason I didt shoot was because to the right of the photo is a house maybe fifty yards away. Biologists number one glanced and said husky fish and wildlife officer started out as husky and by the time I was saying bye he talked as if it was a wolf picking off the pets. Biologists number two never did give me an answer. I have not seen a husky in this neighbor before and dogs are banned.

I agree
Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: inchtowntracking on September 20, 2013, 04:37:40 PM: After doing some reaserch and talking to people this is a hybrid wolf. The owner just got it this week and is supposed to keep it chained up from now on.
Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: Ductsquatch on September 20, 2013, 05:23:50 PM: Husky/Hybrid
Given the area.....it's POSSIBLE a wolf COULD be there...but I am betting Domestic.

One heck of alot more than possible..........................
Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: grundy53 on September 20, 2013, 07:33:34 PM: The first time I looked at it was on my phone and I thought wolf. Now that I see it on my computer I think it is too big for a husky so more then likely is a malamute but malamutes look a lot like wolves... basically inconclusive... :sry:
Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: Birdguy on September 20, 2013, 08:27:47 PM: I would have guessed some kind of domestic. Cross maybe but I agree withthe guys who were getting the dog vibe for sure. I guess next tie you can get us a real close up since it likely will be out/off leash again.

Would make a beautiful rug though :chuckle:.

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on September 21, 2013, 01:45:16 AM: Looks too big to be a Husky. Looks like a Malamute. Friend of mine has two of them, and they look a lot like a wolf. Lots of color variations in them. (In wolves, too!) I don't think a wolf would have sat there long enough for you to take a picture.... :dunno:

Husky or Malamute. Not a wolf.
My thoughts though I have seen a wolf about 10 miles south of there by where Finley used(may still) live.

Nice, he's letting this thing run around off a leash until he's told he shouldn't. We need more like him in this state. Maybe he should apply for a DFW management position or spot on the commission. :bash:

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on September 24, 2013, 08:38:08 AM: I hope all of you guys that propose "shooting first" can ID a wolf compared to a dog better in real life than you can on here.... There are going to be some sad pet owners come hunting season if you guys practice what you preach. :twocents:
Title: Re: Opinions please wolf or not
Post by: Special T on September 24, 2013, 09:03:28 AM: Considering where you saw it it think it is highly likely it was a AK Malamute. Is IT possible its a wolf? maybe... I would think that owning a Husky/Malamute might be a recipe for disaster in that neck of the woods. Especially if you just let it run loose. If it was in housing area I'd just ask around a little as to who's husky it is... likely someone has an idea. :twocents:

Isn't there a leash law there? There are dogs that get hit by cars around here and it's the owner's fault for not having them restrained. Regardless, if you're shooting because you think it's a wolf, you've got more problems ahead of you than an angry dog owner. :dunno:

Post by: TylerMulie on September 27, 2013, 12:34:35 PM: It depends on where you took this, It has many wolf characteristics. but so do huskies. If you were deep in the woods, then definetly wolf, if you were near houses then it could go either way.

The OP said it was a hybrid back in September when this thread died.
