Real nice, one of the females I got this year was the same color with more black on her face.

That may appear to be a large coyote, but it is nothing in size comparison to a wolf. My father is a taxidermist and the largest coyote he has done is still in the house and its weight was still under 60lbs. The female that I described above weighed in at 33lbs and stretched 3/4 of the length of the tailgate of my full size pickup. Measurements are not taken with the animal fully stretched out and you can make anything look and sound bigger be doing such, heck I am almost 8 1/2 feet tall with my arms stretched over my head.

The largest coyote on the pool board at the Smith River Trading post for the last two years is still under 60lbs.

Until you have the opportunity to see a full size wolf in comparison to a coyote you cannot say that is what people are seeing. Take a ride to any of the Cabelas stores closest to you they will have both within close proximity and you will notice that there is absolutely no way you are mistaking the two.
