Mom was in the hospital for a couple of days last week and I was up there to check things out. She lives in central Wisconsin. Was driving home on Wed and I think I almost hit a wolf. Was about 10 miles south of Stevens Point on 39 doing about 70 and this sucker just ambles onto the highway right in front of me. Luckily my brakes worked good and there wasn't anybody too close behind me. Couldn't have missed him by more than a couple of feet and was pretty slowed down by then. Got a pretty good look at him. Tall, I figure roughly 2 1/2 feet or more, long and lanky, gray on top but more tannish underneath, big bushy tail, and the biggest, brightest yellow eyes I've ever seen.
Couple of guys here say it was a coyote, but I say bull. It was a lot bigger than any coyote I've ever seen, and I know it wasn't no dog, but I didn't know there were wolves that far south in Wisconsin. Any of you folks have any ideas? Especially anyone who lives in that area.
I gotta admit, I've never seen a wolf in the wild, but I've seen plenty of coyotes and that baby wasn't like any coyote I've ever seen. Am I nuts?
