thing looks more like a timber wolf

Coyotes aren't suppose to get to 85 lbs, especially down here. It definitely doesn't look like one either. Looks almost like a wolf or someone's pet got loose...might want to bring this to LDWF and get it checked out. If it is a yote, then it's a beast

Looks like you shot someone's dog.

Wikipedia: Northern coyotes are typically larger than southern subspecies, with the largest coyotes on record weighing 74.75 pounds (33.91 kg) and measuring 1.75 m (5.7 ft) in total length.

HaHA...you definitely shot someone's dog. And you almost had you a black lab!

already got with a biologist who picked up samples for genetic testing. advised definitely coyote cross and not someones pet. The area is famous dumping ground for strays but he advised is definitely coyote cross. will post results of genetic testing when he gets back to me.

Coydogs will get a lot larger than the wild coyote.

Your dog chasin my deer is a coyote to me,lol.... turduckin you funny boy

Coydog's a possibility. Looks more like somebody's wolf/hybrid to me.
