    • Hello Jeremy,

      I sent this over to our wildlife guy Shawn Vickers with this comment:

      Hello Shawn,

      I want correct errors of fact. What do you think?

      To which he replied:

      Good question. Color markings certainly lean toward coyote and they’re bound to be stout up there but without a good look at the muzzle or close by size reference it’s hard to be sure. My initial thought was wolf.

      But here is another possibility: it is a hybrid. We are seeing this in Texas among many other areas. Here is a post to this blog on this topic
