That is awesome. And the Lab is one smart dude. He's under the shade.

[maxlavern]

congrats! you will remember that one

 

[gaintwist]

good work, and a big one too

 

[tpichevy]

Wish I could see the pics.... We have nice size dogs here in Idaho if we let them get big enough ha

 

[Bluejazz]

I agree, wish I could see the pic.
Seems like a lot of stuff was lost in the change.

 

[Boltfluter]

Here you go guys.

Something about that head says, "not a coyote".... I haven't seen one with that broad and flat of head. What does it weigh? Height?

 

[Twelve208]

Dang that thing looks like some kind of hybrid! If it is a true coyote,83 lbs. would beat the world record.
Do you have any more pictures of him? Really interested on how his colors and body shape look. The really long legs and flatter face is throwing him off..Not saying you don't,but not sure you have a coyote there.
Still a beauty however!

 

[ragsflh]

good shooting

 

[PhantomSixZero]

Looks like a domestic dog got into the pack or possible wolf?? never seen a muzzle that pronounced before. I would look into it more. And defintely pay to have a live mount done. Nice shooting.

 

[sic]

That this is monstrous! Nice kill!

 

[Flying Goose]

yeah if that's a 26" barrel set behind just a random guess but I'm guessing your looking at close to 40" without the tail. I've NEVER seen anything that big hell until now I've never heard of one that big!

Just a guess but I'm saying your looking at some type of hybrid

 

[Wyldeman]

Here's one killed in Southern Ohio last month, 76lb. ODNR took it to study. Not hijacking thread, just sayin the dogs are getting bigger

 

[Wyldeman]

By the way, that thing is a MONSTER. Nice Chootin!

 

[Raufoss]

here in Canada we have the biggest coyote , in fact those are cross bread wolf-coyote. Largest ''coy-wolf'' recorded was 82 pound in Newfoundland.
Hunter shoots huge coyote - Nfld. & Labrador - CBC News
DNA test show it's an hybrid form grey wolf and coyote.

 

[holy cow]

Paul, very nice. Do you skin them out and keep the hides? We are over run with coyotes here down by the Ohio river east of Cincinnati and also have many large 1,s running around. They have plenty to eat and no natural predators to worry about but man.

He said for comparison The Lab is 83 pounds. I haven't seen a weight of the coyote or coyote/ dog anywhere in the thread.

That is WAY bigger than any I've seen in KY - my guess is some type of cross breeding. I'd guess the biggest I've killed has been around 35lbs.

Yes, I do skin the hides and send them to auction in Canada. I would estimate his weight to be in the 50# range. Remember that the camera adds 10 lbs. Ha Ha.

Paul

that's incredible! we have a coyote over population around these parts, and none of them are anywhere near that big! well done!

 

[hk401]

I never hunt coyote before, do you need to buy the license to hunt coyote?

 

[kis2]

That'll depend on your state game and fish regs, hk401. In several states, no, you don't need a license because they are over populated, but some states have weird rules. I wouldn't expect weird rules from WY, but you never know. Looking at the WY game and fish website, I don't see anything about them.

[wolffman]

Wow! He has a gorgeous coat on him and big! Your dog looks to be happy too!

 

[Idaho338Norma]

Need to dig up the picture of the dog I shot near Riddle Idaho, 56 lbs. Big dogs over there, not many people

 

[ryank]

WOW! Congrats on an awesome trophy!

 

[Burton]

Nice shooting! They don't usually make it to half that size here in MI, at least that I have seen. Keep up the good work!

 

[Decoy]

Sweet dispatch! I too think that could be a mix, my 2 cents worth.

 

[DuneBoer]

Red Wolf


I'd like to see what's in his DNA

 

[THRASHER]

Sweet pic!!!

That's what I was seeing.



Sierracharlie out....

 

[565fitter]

man the my biggest in wv was a little over 50lbs and I thought it was a monster

 

[InsidetheStorm]

Wow... And I felt like a king when I shot one the size of a Jack Russell Terrier =]

 

[TOP PREDATOR]

can't see the picture, but 2 cents here in PA. it is confirmed that the coyotes have wolf DNA in them, and are rather large and getting bigger.

all the coyote contests going on post january in our state are producing with consistancy 50+ lbers. a study over that few years by the biologists proved the DNA findings by extracting samples and getting them to the lab.

interestingly, game officials back in the mid 70's whole hearted said there are no coyotes in PA, kinda makes me wonder about the claims of there are no mtn lions in PA. anymore, though many have reported them in the wild.

 

[Khavic]

that's a beast nice kill

 

[Travis224]

Good lord, my biggest yote i have got since i started keeping track was just under 45 lbs but like you guys getting hybrids, we have alot that seem to be crossing with farm dogs and seem to be very red colored and small. Really sucks when i comes time for the buyer to grade.

 

[0uTkAsT]

Wow, that is a monster!

 

[Cartman]

I'm with those who are guessing it isn't coyote DNA -- or at least not all.

Really beautiful animal. If I had a big enough place I would have the whole thing mounted. Would love to have my own life-size diorama like at a Bass Pro Shop.
