Keeping them alive

[daneg]

Shot this one last evening, he was working the neighbours cattle chasing down a calf and the cows run him off, he tried to circle around to get behind the herd and got in range.

Is that a wolf or a dog? Doesn't look like the coyotes here.

Nasty looking beast ! Needed killed

Timber wolf, I didn't weigh it but it's likely 75 or 80lbs.

Good job.

Looks to have mange.

Looks to have mange.

Nope. Chupacabra with a bit of winter coat still.

Coydog.

Pitched angle shot.

Dead is dead... good job of removing a threat to the calves. Don't matter how you got it shot and killed...

Shot went in other side behind front leg angled through and out opposite side. He is rough looking but not mangy.

Called it. I knew the angle.

Oh I see you are in Manitoba so it probably is a wolf. Good riddance. Not mange but something's wrong with his hair coat because it's sick. It looks like a Chupacabra we have in Texas.

Maybe a little. This is mange! 'Yote, right by our driveway.

Yeah that is pretty bad. Lol.

The 'thing' in the OP definitely has mange or something. That is more than 'rough' looking. Not as bad as TC's though.

Wolves also just look like smashed azz when the warm months hit anyway, 90% of the photos wildlife photographers take of them are cool or cold weather shots when they're in full fur. They don't look that pretty all the time.

This doesn't look like any wolf I have seen. The head is not the right shape and the feet are much too small for a wolf. It looks like a dog that wasn't very well cared for or a feral dog. It is definitely not a coyote either of course.
