Coywolf(?) in Potsdam Township

Posted by Alexander K. Stewart,

Using a Wildgame Innovations trail cam (Micro Red 6, Enhanced) in the "back 40" a "coywolf" was spotted at 1926hrs on 24SEP12. Distance to coyote is approximately 10 meters, suggesting an overall size of the animal to be much like a full-grown German Shepard. Based on the size and healthy, full coat the animal is possibly the alpha male for a regional pack, which are most active on clear, cool nights.
