Can you actually differentiate the Thermal images to assure that your not shooting somebodies dog?
Just a question and not a judgement.

Not that I really care about wolves, but what happens if you shoot a wolf or bear during a closed season?Thermal is actually quite clear, it’s not just a light colored blob you are shooting at you can see a detailed image

Good question, I’ve never called in a wolf or bear yet. First of all, shooting a wolf is illegal in the state of Washington, unless you live on the Colville reservation and have a tag.
As far as identifying your objective target, the “coyote” there are many mannerisms that the coyote makes to easily ID them. For a novice thermal hunter it may be difficult at first but the thermals we use are very clear. A good rule of thumb we abide by is if your unsure, don’t shoot.

Cattle ranchers that don’t live on the reservation are not even aloud to shoot a wolf even if there eating a calf right in front of them.

It doesn't matter too much to the significance of this thread, but your quote I highlighted isn't accurate.
