I have no idea but will guess a yote.
October 19, 2015 at 9:23 am #1571798I would vote yote with 99% confidence. The shape of the head/ears and the pinched, skinny snout.
I would be pulling the trigger without any hesitation whatsoever./
October 19, 2015 at 9:32 am #1571803yote, no question.
October 19, 2015 at 9:33 am #1571804Coyote.
October 19, 2015 at 10:01 am #1571812Yep, that’s a coyote.
You should make him look like this one!
Kill ’em all ! Just my opinion by the way…Attachments:

October 19, 2015 at 10:10 am #1571819I am really thinking yote too, but if you cover up the head and just look at the body it sure screams young wolf to me.
The "IGH"...October 19, 2015 at 10:58 am #1571839Pointy snout = Yote IMO…RR

October 19, 2015 at 11:56 am #1571864Yote. Legs too short for a wolf.

Yep, that’s what I look for too. If you look at the proportion of leg length to the height of the body from the top of the back to the belly, this usually gives it away. A wolf has legs that are much longer as a % of this measurement. A coyotes may be just a little more than the distance from the top of the torso to the bottom, but a wolf has almost 2x this measure in leg length.
The nose is also too narrow for a wolf.
Give this one the same welcome treatment you gave the other one! Don’t let the arrow hit you in the @ss on the way out, Mr. Coyote!

December 11, 2015 at 5:53 am #1583788Pointy snout defiantly a coyote. Of course on this side of the river it doesn’t matter.
December 11, 2015 at 6:38 am #1583792What about this one shot in NW Iowa?

December 11, 2015 at 6:42 am #1583796Could be a lobo. Nice picture format though. One was killed in the Wabasha area along the river by the DNR not very long ago. And if Minnesota’s moose can make it that far south I have no doubt that wolf could too. Male or female?
December 11, 2015 at 6:50 am #1583797I believe it was a 95lb male. It was shot about 15 miles from where I live. Heard about it through the grapevine and on the news.
December 11, 2015 at 9:09 am #1583828Yote, for the reasons Grouse stated. Pretty ‘yote, but ‘yote nonetheless.
The Iowa wolf-again what Grouse mentions, study the leg length in those pics. Saw this myself, the in-laws live in that area.
December 11, 2015 at 9:49 am #1583846You can get some pretty wacky looking coyotes out in farm country where they have managed to interbreed with dogs. But again, the leg length is wrong for a wolf as is the head and snout.
Here’s a picture of a wolf from Wisconsin. Note the relative length of the legs compared to the height of the body from the bottom of the belly to the top of the back. If you extended the legs straight out, they would be close to 2 times the distance from the belly to the top of the back.
Also note the thickness of the head.

December 11, 2015 at 10:09 am #1583851high pointed ears, longer tapering snout. definite ‘yote
