wolves in the catskill mountains in NewYork?????? look at the attached picS CLOSELY.................READERS OF THIS BLOG: I.would love your opinions on WHAT ANIMAL YOU FEEL IS IN THESE PICS THAT our friends Rick France and Joe Butera sent to me

I live in the foot hills of the Adirondacks, I have hunted coyotes for years and know what the local coyotes look like. In the past week we have heard a lone howl on the mountain at night and when this animal howls the local coyotes start raising absolute hell. Last Friday my wife saw a big lanky dog come out of the woods by our garden and walk into the small field in back of our house to the woods. She told me it was as tall as our dog which weighs in at 120 lbs. I set up my trail cam in the back field and baited the ground with chicken grease. After 6 days, several pics of fox and a small coyote I finally caught our dog on film. Attached is the pics. Many of my fellow hunters say its a young wolf as do I. I would like another opinion.

Thanks Rick France
