[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 344024, member: 367"] I read there are eastern timber wolves that are smaller than Grey wolves. The old timers claimed a MN timber wolf was a coyote , Not sure what MN has but I saw a pair of Grey wolves and one pup about 20 years ago. I watched them for a good 20 minutes and one thing I learned is that If you ever see a mature male Gray wolf you won't be asking yourself is that's a coyote or a wolf. They are huge , I first saw the male trotting across the hayfield and thought it was a deer but it was so dark colored. Then I saw the female and the pup about a 1/4 mile behind him and she was a lot smaller and lighter color so I suppose she probably could have passed for a big coyote if she had been alone . The male though was HUGE , He stopped and sat down at the edge of the hay field and turned his head looking back and waited for the female and pup. I was looking at him with binos at 150-200 yards and I'm not kidding , He looked just like a bear . The head and neck was huge. This was in late June I suppose because it was haying season and they had been traveling all night because the pup was tuckered out and moving real slow and could barely make it over the swaths then he would stop and sit down and the female would snap at him to make him get up and go some more.
