Haha...typical responses. So it is a close friend of mine and this yote dog was over 100 lbs and was bigger than any dog they had ever seen. No photo shop. No b.s. just a very large canid that looks like a coyote and was running with coyotes and killing cows. Look a little closer at the size of this animal compared to the atv. The leg is longer than Texas deer's leg and the head was huge. I wasn't asking for opinions if it was real, just what might have been the explanation of what it may have been. Ok.... it is NOT a wolf and to think that a population of grey wolves is still in Texas is laughable.... better? While true....there are many people in the state that own wolf crosses......can easily see one getting too aggressive and being dumped somewhere.....or getting loose....

Or the much more reasonable conclusion is its a big yote and great camera angle, but if yall want it to be a wolf, carry on. People see black panthers all the time, so the obvious answer is someone probably released one right?

You already had one of the most knowledgable people in the world on Yotes give you his opinion. Choose to ignore him if you wish but it only makes you look silly.

You post a picture of a canine and state it was over 100lbs yet offer no proof. Did you even weigh it? Oh wait...you weren't even there? Looks like a big coyote to me, maybe 60 lbs. I guess it could be a coydog. Most likely a coydog and IMO look nowhere near 100lbs.

Let us know what the TPWD biologist says. Pretty sure no one bothered to call them.

I might believe the OP a bit if I knew the location better. I remember about 25 years ago, when we had a lease on the old Eastland County Sheriff's ranch off 717. There were a bunch of wolf/yotes crosses running livestock ragged. IIRC, somebody had a few (illegal) Canadian wolf pups and they got out. Anyway, the sheriff called in government trappers and got two of them. I got to see one of them (sorry no pics LOL, no smart phones back then) and he was pushing 100 lbs but did have a grayish tint to the coat unlike the OP pic. Paws were huge compared to a normal coyote. A few years later I shot a song dog that weighed in at 55 lbs in the same area. Who knows? Regardless, that is a pretty big animal in the OP pic.

I can't tell how big he is by the photo as the hunter is obviously standing in front of ATV and the coyote is hanging off the back. I will say that it appears to be an above average sized coyote but not 100 pounds. I called up and killed a coyote on the Bell Ranch in NE NM years ago when we were shooting one of the "EYES FRONT" DVD's for Mossy Oak that was the largest I have ever killed. They had a big coyote contest at Logan, NM and one of the ranch hands entered it and won. If memory serves me correctly, it weighed 47 pounds two days after I killed it. I am guessing that he would have weighed about 50 on the hoof.
I have a hide from a female hanging on my wall that a buddy killed on frozen Lake Michigan. She weighed 57 pounds and my buddy said that her mate was noticeably larger though he did not get him killed. The further north you go, the bigger they get. Blows our saying, "Everything's bigger in Texas" all to heck.
Adios,
Gary Off topic a bit but I just caught my first and second episodes of 'Carnivore', this weekend. Gary has one of if not the best hunting shows on cable. Back to topic. That's one big yote.

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
