Huge Coyote at Ribcage

[Cabin Fever]

I recently came across these pics of a huge coyote at a ribcage that I put out at my old camp several years ago. This is probably the biggest coyote I've ever seen or gotten pics of! Pretty intimidating looking mofo, might I add!

That would be one to get mounted

Alpha maybe? In the second 2 pics it looks like he's shooing off someone else.

I know they aren't really a threat to people but sure wouldn't want to tangle with him. That's a big yote.  Can't image seeing a 100# wolf.

Could be. I assume this is the same one with possibly a female trying to get a bite. I doubt they're smiling at eachother....

That is one big coyote, there's no doubt that the Eastern Coyote is part wolf.

After I got those pics, I made sure I was packin' every time I went out to check cams!

NY has actually had four confirmed wolves. I know at least some of those were documented in Otsego County. That one could be a wolf. You and I see some serious Eastern coyotes, but never that large.

Dang that’s a big boy! That’s gotta be a 50# yote!

I’m going to say the dog has more than just coyote in it’s genetics.

Every time I see "Huge coyote!" I think ok here comes another 30lber. That is actually a huge coyote!

I agree, that might be a 45-50lb yote!

The beef farmers shot 40+ last year over bait with night scopes and thermal.  The biggest they weighed on a digital deer scale was 62#.  I didn't see that in person.  I have seen a few in the upper 40s in person.

WOW! A 62lb'er would be e monster!

I wish I was a better caller, but no such luck. I planned on buying some traps and learning to trap them this past season, but that didn't go as planned.

Come borrow my fox pro cabin.   You are welcome to give it a run.  That’s a big boy.
