Thats interesting, just tried do do some more research and found a picture of one which does look similar to this. Am I right in saying that its a grey area as to what exactly a true red wolf is? Sub-species of Gray Wolf, Coyote Wolf Hybrid or a subspecies which has started to hybridise with coyotes due to lack of pure red wolves to breed with.
yeserday i was in peabody Ma. woods on a bike trail and came across a coyote , similar to this, but its head was almost all white and its tail was almost all white ... and it was big, i was scard and got away from it and diddnnt think about using my camera phone... does anyone know what kind of coyote i saw
I'm no expert on Red Wolves but from what I know about them, they're only now found in the South West and are very very rare. This doesn't look like one from pictures i've seen and descriptions i've read. Some say they're a Wolf Coyote Hybrid or thats their origins. Perhaps this is a hybrid, but to me it just looks like a big Coyote.
Red wolves can be mistaken for a large coyote as they are small and have similar colors. They're a rare species though and they often hybridize with coyotes. If you were making turkey noises that's definately what brought him in. Coyotes avoid humans as a rule but if you mimic their prey, they may have a go at you. It's a predator after all.
Why is this called coyote attack? The video is of a gray wolf, not a coyote. Maybe a wolf-dog mix, but definitely NOT a coyote. If the wolf was really just very curious, it is not clear what the guy was doing to draw it in.
I have a 70lb rottie whose favourite game is to "stalk and attack me" which for us is a great game. Until you you have experienced the kind of impact that a mouth full of teeth backed by 70lb of muscle has, you will not understand how dangerous a coyote attack can be. With an agressive coyote a bullet is always the right response! Good hunting!
I also used to own a Black Lab/Heeler/Dingo mix that would go out into the pasture and play with the coyote pups. It was pretty funny every morning seeing her out there, and once the ranchers chased off the coyotes she started playing with the foxes. xD
I was thinking Coyote all the way until I saw the animal turn it's head to the side and saw how big the snout was...it's very possible that there's a mix of something else there.
So please tell us, is this a coyote or a wolf. I keep reading all these comments and there seems to be a debate about it. I'll tell you this. A wolf has Round ears, square snout. A coyote has Pointed ears, pointed snout. So please end the debate.
Eastern coyotes are larger and fit this one to a tee, Wolves have a large rib cage with a pronounced curve to they're underside profile, Coyotes like this one are almost flat, the brief glimpse of the tail shows it to be a coyote without a doubt. I'm with the filmmaker here its a coyote, However I do wonder why he didn't blast it? If it were me it would be a dead Yote. Great Video!
@ImmaculateSludge that may be true, but when we do thin their populations out we then have to take it upon ourselves to take care of other populations of animal. the true fact of the matter is that we are the actually problem. people blame the deer that runs infront of their car but in reality, we build the roads in between the deer's point A and point B. the more wolves, bear, cougar, etc that are in existance. less deer, moose, elk, etc we will have to worry about whilst driving.
Illinois still has red wolfs in the wild an there is a pair in the Springfield zoo ,an like you say a red wolf is nothing but a coyote with a wolf face an wolfs temperament , an thats how the coyote gets a bad name from this kinda mix up
Out here in the part of Oklahome where I live we don't have that many coyotes, but the ones we do have are very large! I found two a few weeks ago that had been hit, and they were larger then my 60 pound Australian Shepherd. They are also dog killers, and you have to think twice before you let your ranch dogs sleep outside. ^^ A ranch just across the street from my house already lost 3 heelers to a large male coyote that found a home in the forest near her house.
bothsidesofit that is fine i know many on farms an ranches an im not goina tell you you yore wrong 4 what you believe but i will only tell you 2 be open minded 2 other things that are not of your believing ,before the coyote was the bag guy it was the eagle an the wolf well there now on the endangered list so if the coyote makes it 2 the endangered list hew will be the next pest that causes the rancher an farmer problems will it be the fox an raccoon were dose it end an are you goina not eat thm
Yep, entrapment: To lure into danger, difficulty, or a compromising situation. . Just because he is hunting turkey doesn't excuse what happened. I am convinced this was completely uneccesary. And fyi, I've been around coyotes before.
@shoryuken202 i knew it was everyone on another video was like its a wolf and i was like its a eastern coyote cause wolves have territories right and would like attack you on spot if you were in the territory
A few of the states I checked only allow coyote hunting on private lands when the coyote is doing or about to do damage to the land. The rest of your argument is based on a huge sweeping generalization (dicto simpliciter), and you'll never win a debate that way.
You see enough to know that the coyote was turning and running. Go all the way to 2:46 in his disolve you can see that the coyote's back is completely to the shooter. An unnecessary kill. This is my last response.
that is a red wolf an yes there all over the eastern woodlands ,the big difference between them an a coyote is the red wolf has the wide snout an the coyote has the colly like snout an the red wolf ,the red wolf is more aggressive twords man ,there are few coyotes as big as the red wolf but not half as dangerous,if you call that a coyote no wonder the coyote gets a bad name (LOL)
I've had the experience of a coyote looking at me in the dark, but that was after I'd startled it. I think it must have been stalking me at first though, trying to figure out what I was then bolted away through the grass. I had no idea what was there when I heard the grass rustling.
They probably couldn't wipe out the deer population. If deer became scarce, coyotes would either turn to other prey for sources of food or their own numbers would dwindle due to starvation. Eventually the deer population would go back up due to less predators out there, and the cycle would continue. The only time this doesn't really work is when humans intervened. That being said, I don't oppose you hunting coyote, because they aren't endangered.
im pretty sure thats a coyote, get big money for the coat he has on. I dont know why you think thats a wolf the legs arnt long enough to be a wolf. and the body color doesnt match up
it looks an actions are wolf Ive had both as pets so i might have some expertize on it (LOL) not 2 mention Ive lived in a wigwam in the woods 4 years (LOL)an any man hew kills with out eating the kill is no man at all that i know most of all , it is ok 2 gift youre kill but is not ok 2 waist it
@RandomConcepts They did kill him. Just read in the earlier posts from last year. They edited out the part where they shot him. What you are looking at here is the last few minutes of this beautiful animal's life
"you can't really kill a coyote with turkey load" Ive seen coyotes blown to bits by 3 1/2 inch turkey loads, the problem is you fill the hide with holes.
idk man, i shot a coyote the other day that was pretty decent sized. besides, this one has too much red in behind its ears and on its nose. it's just a larger coyote.
i'm supposed to go coyote hunting this weekend. the beauty of that animal turned me off. but fortunately it wasn't a coyote at all. i would have felt terrible for destroying such an incredible animal had that been a coyote. i'll never hunt wolves.
even thow its a red wolf it ts rare that he would attack a lone an he was goina kill you if you dident kill him so i understand you killing him ive seen domestic wild dogs do this years ago an it is rare to see that today as well
This could have easily been avoided. You could have made some noise at any point and got the coyote to head off. They are skittish animals, and in fact it was turning because it probably didn't want anything to do with you. What I saw was entrapment, and you killed a beautiful animal. Bad karma for you.
Well good for u, but if u new anything about wild life management then you'd know that it's sometimes necessary to control their numbers. You might be an animal lover but don't know someone because u don't understand the reason they do what they do. I read some of the comments left my so so call animal lovers, and I see who's really sick...
he was turkey hunting. there for he had turkey load. you can't really kill a coyote with turkey load. I (like most hunters) kill coyotes because their over running my property. I don't want them wiping out my deer population (and don't tell me they can't). us hunters care a lot about the environment. because since we hunt, our life stile is affected by the environment(unlike the animal worshipers who live in the city). We don't want animals to die out or over populate, because it affects us to.
This is a Coyote, Wolf don't have brown at the head a neck area. 1:37, also at 1:26 the snout is much longer than a wolf making it Coyote, a very healthy one at that. We have shot them on my club in SC as big as a German Shepard. When they get this big they are had to tell from a wolf except for the fact that we have no wild wolfs in SC.
He was just curious because you were camoflauged. He had no idea it was a human. If he had ever had contact with a human before he would of just run as soon as he got a smell of you. You can't eat a coyote so why go out in the woods and kill one? If you had stood up sooner or spoken he would of just left.
I wouldn't have shot it unless it actually attacked me. A single coyote isn't going to incapacitate me to the point where I can't pick up the gun and shoot it.
That is not a pure coyote...maybe some strange hybrid, but looks much too big to be a coyote. Whatever it was, it was hunting you, that's for sure. If it stalked me like that, I'd be tempted to pull the trigger too.
why didnt you shoot it? You had a shotgun. Its not like you could miss at that range. forget saving the pelt, blow him in half! POW! flop, twitch. Every time I shoot a coyote I visualize them as P.E.T.A supporters & drop the hammer on em with a smile from ear to ear!
Thats interesting, just tried do do some more research and found a picture of one which does look similar to this.
Am I right in saying that its a grey area as to what exactly a true red wolf is? Sub-species of Gray Wolf, Coyote Wolf Hybrid or a subspecies which has started to hybridise with coyotes due to lack of pure red wolves to breed with.
It depends on how high of a of brass turkey load. With a high brass load of course it will blow them to bits. So what's your point?
One look at those eyes spells WOLF!
AMAZING video! Awesome job with it!
WHAT KIND OF SCENT BLOCKER DO YOU USE??!?!?!?!?! AWESOME!
yeserday i was in peabody Ma. woods on a bike trail and came across a coyote , similar to this, but its head was almost all white and its tail was almost all white ... and it was big, i was scard and got away from it and diddnnt think about using my camera phone... does anyone know what kind of coyote i saw
What did the guy do to make the coyote turn around?!
It could be a coywolf....are you in eastern north america?
@Tzeise2680 Red Wolves are HARDLY numerous. There are maybe 100 of them in the wild.. and only in North Carolina...
I'm no expert on Red Wolves but from what I know about them, they're only now found in the South West and are very very rare. This doesn't look like one from pictures i've seen and descriptions i've read.
Some say they're a Wolf Coyote Hybrid or thats their origins. Perhaps this is a hybrid, but to me it just looks like a big Coyote.
Ok, thank you for your input.
ok, I was referring to low brass bird shot, and see what you are saying. but what's your point. is that it.
dude, what were you hunting? And why were you sitting in the middle of the clearing?
Red wolves can be mistaken for a large coyote as they are small and have similar colors. They're a rare species though and they often hybridize with coyotes.
If you were making turkey noises that's definately what brought him in. Coyotes avoid humans as a rule but if you mimic their prey, they may have a go at you. It's a predator after all.
That was awesome. Nice big Yote. Congrats man.
looks like a hybrid cross between a dog and a wild cyote or its relly good looking one
Why is this called coyote attack? The video is of a gray wolf, not a coyote. Maybe a wolf-dog mix, but definitely NOT a coyote.

We've got cyotes like german shepards in the oilfields here in bakersfield

Cool!
looks like wolf hybrid to me.
did u attack it for attacking or attack it for it being close
@ImmaculateSludge that may be true, but when we do thin their populations out we then have to take it upon ourselves to take care of other populations of animal. the true fact of the matter is that we are the actually problem. people blame the deer that runs infront of their car but in reality, we build the roads in between the deer's point A and point B. the more wolves, bear, cougar, etc that are in existance. less deer, moose, elk, etc we will have to worry about whilst driving.
i agree. hell even the coyotes here in missouri are pretty large
Illinois still has red wolfs in the wild an there is a pair in the Springfield zoo ,an like you say a red wolf is nothing but a coyote with a wolf face an wolfs temperament , an thats how the coyote gets a bad name from this kinda mix up
it definately looks like a wolf at first UNTIL it turns broadside...wolfs dont have coats like that

Two bit keyboard commando.
coyotes rarely mistake humans as food, and hardly ever threaten humans
pretty cool footage
coyote's can have just as beutifule coats as a wolf if they live somewere cold
That was close!
this one doesnt look like coyote for my experience more like wolf, could be mix coyote and wolf.i have never seen that big coyote,
@boredism07 wolves need to be thinned out too... theyre worse on ungulate populations than coyotes ever could be.
yes, he did.
bothsidesofit that is fine i know many on farms an ranches an im not goina tell you you yore wrong 4 what you believe but i will only tell you 2 be open minded 2 other things that are not of your believing ,before the coyote was the bag guy it was the eagle an the wolf well there now on the endangered list so if the coyote makes it 2 the endangered list hew will be the next pest that causes the rancher an farmer problems will it be the fox an raccoon were dose it end an are you goina not eat thm
Yep, entrapment:
To lure into danger, difficulty, or a compromising situation.
. Just because he is hunting turkey doesn't excuse what happened. I am convinced this was completely uneccesary. And fyi, I've been around coyotes before.
It's a big coyote, because it's not a coyote, it's a wolf.
Great Video!!
Would have been better if it showed the kill, but none the less, it was still great.
Thanks for posting.
@shoryuken202 i knew it was everyone on another video was like its a wolf and i was like its a eastern coyote cause wolves have territories right and would like attack you on spot if you were in the territory

It's part dog to big for a Coyote but NO wild wolf would com that close to a man
You see enough to know that the coyote was turning and running. Go all the way to 2:46 in his disolve you can see that the coyote's back is completely to the shooter. An unnecessary kill. This is my last response.
im thinking that is a cross of some kind between a coyote and wolf. Too big to be just a coyote
that is a red wolf an yes there all over the eastern woodlands ,the big difference between them an a coyote is the red wolf has the wide snout an the coyote has the colly like snout an the red wolf ,the red wolf is more aggressive twords man ,there are few coyotes as big as the red wolf but not half as dangerous,if you call that a coyote no wonder the coyote gets a bad name (LOL)
Theres no real classification for yotes they just are what they are..... you will see them in all different colors sizes!!!
I am telling you people this is a wolf or wolf hybrid. it is not a coyote. Great footage though.
That's a big coyote. Not much of an attack, though. More of a panic and retreat. He sure took off when he finally sized you up.
My point is theirs a huge difference between regular bird shot and magnum turkey loads. Much bigger pellets, moving much faster.
It was the coyote that soiled himself when he finally winded you at three paces
thats a wolf dude
For spicing up flavorless foods.
I've had the experience of a coyote looking at me in the dark, but that was after I'd startled it. I think it must have been stalking me at first though, trying to figure out what I was then bolted away through the grass. I had no idea what was there when I heard the grass rustling.
Wolves do not have slitted puples like coyotes. That is a coyote.
They probably couldn't wipe out the deer population. If deer became scarce, coyotes would either turn to other prey for sources of food or their own numbers would dwindle due to starvation. Eventually the deer population would go back up due to less predators out there, and the cycle would continue. The only time this doesn't really work is when humans intervened. That being said, I don't oppose you hunting coyote, because they aren't endangered.
Checkin to see if you were sick or healthy....would be my guess
im pretty sure thats a coyote, get big money for the coat he has on. I dont know why you think thats a wolf the legs arnt long enough to be a wolf. and the body color doesnt match up
it looks an actions are wolf Ive had both as pets so i might have some expertize on it (LOL) not 2 mention Ive lived in a wigwam in the woods 4 years (LOL)an any man hew kills with out eating the kill is no man at all that i know most of all , it is ok 2 gift youre kill but is not ok 2 waist it
Theirs no such thing as a low brass 3 1/2 inch 12guage shell, their all high brass.
@RandomConcepts They did kill him. Just read in the earlier posts from last year. They edited out the part where they shot him. What you are looking at here is the last few minutes of this beautiful animal's life

Ive seen coyotes blown to bits by 3 1/2 inch turkey loads, the problem is you fill the hide with holes.
you obviously spend zero time on the farm and thus no zero about what you're talking about as usual.
idk man, i shot a coyote the other day that was pretty decent sized. besides, this one has too much red in behind its ears and on its nose. it's just a larger coyote.
its a coyote
Thats definetley a Wolf, no question. I guaran damm tee you that guy soiled his underwear
i'm supposed to go coyote hunting this weekend. the beauty of that animal turned me off. but fortunately it wasn't a coyote at all. i would have felt terrible for destroying such an incredible animal had that been a coyote. i'll never hunt wolves.
um, except he did shoot it.
even thow its a red wolf it ts rare that he would attack a lone an he was goina kill you if you dident kill him so i understand you killing him ive seen domestic wild dogs do this years ago an it is rare to see that today as well
Wolves don't hesitate like that. Thats a coyote.
he ran away

They are skittish animals, and in fact it was turning because it probably didn't want anything to do with you. What I saw was entrapment, and you killed a beautiful animal. Bad karma for you.
Northeastern coyotes are part wolf.
Well good for u, but if u new anything about wild life management then you'd know that it's sometimes necessary to control their numbers.

Come on man you've got a shot gun.
he didnt kill it, what are you all new? the coyote thought that the hunter was lunch moved in for the kill saw it was human and took off!!
true but coyotes are strong im not letting my dog stay outside in dark for to long because coyote sightings are in my area
This is a Coyote, Wolf don't have brown at the head a neck area. 1:37, also at 1:26 the snout is much longer than a wolf making it Coyote, a very healthy one at that.

na, that's a coyote, I've seen one that big in suburban Los Angeles before, if you can believe it. The big ones look like wolves.
drop that sob!
a labrador
I wouldn't have shot it unless it actually attacked me. A single coyote isn't going to incapacitate me to the point where I can't pick up the gun and shoot it.
he never charged he only walked
no thats cruel the coyote wasnt even attacking it was just looking
That is not a pure coyote...maybe some strange hybrid, but looks much too big to be a coyote. Whatever it was, it was hunting you, that's for sure. If it stalked me like that, I'd be tempted to pull the trigger too.
That would be a dead coyote if that was me .Chase to many deer off .
If that was wolf, I believe it would have attacked him.
Just a mature coyote.... not really sure about a wolf hybrid...... but anyways they need to be shot and it's one of the funnest animals to hunt!!
thats a fuckin BIG coyote
When you have to shoot dont soil yourself, SHOOT.
if we didnt have wild dogs we couldnt have pet dogs
@GIRsquad Now u have totally lost the argument u started with, isn't that a surprise LMAO???
why didnt you shoot it?
You had a shotgun.
Its not like you could miss at that range.
forget saving the pelt, blow him in half!
POW! flop, twitch.
Every time I shoot a coyote I visualize them as P.E.T.A supporters & drop the hammer on em with a smile from ear to ear!
lol i like his reaction when he recognises its a human hes stalking. i'm surprised you didn't shoot 'em.
