Nog, that dog on right is a big dog isn’t it! Wow.
They tend to grow them on the large size in Alberta.

Our coyotes down here are generally small and this time of year would be very thin haired.

I shot a good sized one when I was Elk hunting west of Spirit River. While it was late November, I’d say it was maybe 20% larger than the one I just shot. It’s a heck of a lot colder for longer there so Bergman’s rule applies to them as well as the deer. The one I shot in Alberta took a 300 WM dead center of the chest at 30 yards. I wouldn’t have shot it but it came right at me in the open. It’s pretty wild there and they don’t seem to be afraid of man.

What gets me is just how small a coyote really is in the canine world.

aYup. Actually shot wolves that were smaller.
He chose the wrong path to wander, and was 10 feet from my blind when the Big John Zombie Slayer entered his ear.

By and large that holds true.
The one in the picture I posted was big alright.
But I killed a true 200 pound Arctic Wolf when living up that way.
Still have that one's hide...

Matt, do you ever see coy-dogs? I've seen several here in Ontario but never in Alberta where I hunted.

Not to date.
No coyotes here on the Island.
But we do have wolves, and they freely interbreed with dogs.
Seen, and shot a handful of those.

And of course my Lady & I have been living with Wolf Hybrids for ~ 40 years now...

way to go Don ! I hate the things ...we have been thinning them out here but there numbers come right back ....2 winters ago 14 shot on the farm here ... My buddy has dummied 2 here since early may ......1 shot in the back of the head at 250 yards .....He is using a .223 , .243 with 58 grain vmax home loads ... he had been using a savage axis 204 ruger with hand loads ...Deadly accurate I called it his death ray ......quite a number of the ones he has killed here are hybrids ...coy/dogs --- or coy / wolf maybe .....some of them are crazy big .

Keep educating them !

Pretty good shooting for an old short guy with failing eyesight. 😂 Kinda figured you’d just let one of your beasts tear into him.

I sure was tempted to send the 3 land sharks. Two are at 55 lbs and the other is 70 lbs. All have a high prey drive. Would have become messy. :wtf:
