Wolves or coyotes?

by **kingstonlake** 2020-10-19, 18:31

Couldn't hunt last year because we got close to 3ft of snow. Pulled my camera from last year and got these picks. Pretty sure they're wolves.

Yeah, the date wasn't set right lol. My biggest complaint when my brother set my camera.

I'd say wolves, ears look round, aren't coyotes pointed?

by **Floyd Robertson** 2020-10-19, 18:38

They look bigger than your average coyote and tails don't appear tapered, so wolf.

by **Nordic** 2020-10-19, 18:40

Look to big/tall to be coyotes. Sweet pics

Look too big for coyotes.

The bald-headed killer bear...

Wolves or coyotes? QasLfnF

Went bear hunting on Drummond Island last week. Had a great time with my son. No bear though.

100% those are wolves.

I thought this thread was going to be about shitty pro sports franchises.

Well it's clearly not coyotes. No fucking dynamite. This place has gotten dumb.

Yep wolves. Awesome.

Is this up north or UP NORTH?

Good question, and proper distinction.

It would be pretty significant if they are in the lower peninsula. Documented sightings of wolves in the LP are rare and I believe there is no known permanent population of wolves in the LP.

Super fucking cool kingston. Wolves are actually on the ballot here in Colorado lol. Need to research more

That is the one thing that gave me pause. That and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a wolf, definitely not in the wild. All the coyotes I've seen have been much smaller/lower to the ground and bushier tails.

by **Turtleneck** 2020-10-19, 23:28

I wonder if these are the same wolves that raised poster Other Teams Pursuing That?

by **tGreenWay** 2020-10-19, 23:34

Going by the ears, I’m leaning toward wolves, too. Tail positions are indistinguishable, and can’t see the chest, but the legs are tall and skinny. Plus, aren’t you in one of the two Northern Lower counties where wolf sightings have been confirmed?

We should look at his sister’s legs again to confirm.

It was Alger county in the U.P. I was fairly certain I saw one about ten years ago while hunting. I was scrolling the pictures quickly last night and there’s a third one in the background. One thing I’ve learned is I’ll be leaving my camera up all winter from now on, lol. Can’t believe the batteries last for a year. LOL.

Well I guess we know where the screen name kingstonlake comes from.

There’s also a Kingston Plains in Alger County that happens to be right near Kingston Lake. I wonder if that was intentional...

Reading that reminded me of the Thumb fire of 1881 that I learned a little about last year.

Perhaps the photos are geotagged? Three or four of us could dress up as bigfoot and then head Up North...

I had a thumb fire one time. Came from a flaming case of digital herpes.

Count me in. It’ll be nice having hair on my chest for once.

Would Nordic even have to dress up?
