Yup. There’s no mistaken them. I’ve been on a few Canadian wolf hunts.

Found the old video of my Dad shooting 2 black wolves in BC. He hunted close to 30 days across 3 provinces and several years of trips. He became obsessed after I got him hooked. Crazy it has 210K views!

Awesome video of your Dad.  Def huge and would def make walking around in the woods feel a bit different if those were around.

Wolves and coyote are genetically the same animal, they produce fertile offspring together.  This is a classic example of Bergmann's rule, the further north you go the bigger they are. 

But not with yotes for some reason. The western and Canadian yotes are  much smaller than northeast US ones. I shot a beautiful coyote in Alberta. It was 22lbs and considered a good one.

Which is why we see 300 lb whitetail in Canada and 150 lb in Texas at the same age.
