Did anyone happen to catch on FB the giant coyote or wolf they shot last night? Looked like a wolf. Weighed 70+. Now it's been removed from FB for some reason.

Interesting, I don't follow them but I just checked out their page and one of their comments was the ODNR thinks it's a wolf hybrid?
I saw that they had contacted ODNR. I went back to check it out and it was gone. That thing was a monster. Killed over by London I think.

Ho-Lee-Fuk, sure looks like a wolf....no hybrid to me! Blame Michigan, our DNR denied they were in the lower peninsula for years til people started getting them on trail cams. Looks like one migrated...

Don't know enough bout wolves to comment,but it looks like a DNA test might be in order . Looks kind of fat to be running the woods tho .
This would explain why it was pulled from FB
. It is also what I told my buddy when he sent it to me. That snout is awful short for a wolf.Talked with a few people about it. All agreed it was probably some sort of a a husky mix. I have a buddy who had a 83% wolf or something like that and it looked just like this thing. That being said, his wolf escaped all the time and drug dead, adult deer, fawns, etc back to the property all the timeThis would explain why it was pulled from FB
This is a mistake I could see easily happening. How many ohioans are used to seeing a dog like this? Let alone through a thermal scope at night. If this is a pet, the owner is more at fault IMO. If it is a wolf, I hope we hear more about it. We don't need any more predators.
If you have a dog that looks just like a wolf and it doesn't have a collar and doesn't stay home, it deserves to get shot. Same type of dudes with wolves for dogs drive F350 dullys and wear bedazzled jeans...
That's a reasonable facsimile, but that tail gives it away as a domestic dog. What they shot had a tail like a yote or a wolf. There's no discernable difference between what they shot and a wolf IMO. And at 75#s, it's not beyond possibly (in the heat of the moment) that it's a wolf. Remember this? When they killed it in January, it had an infected, broken leg and still weighed 65#s, so you know it was 75#s when healthy.
