No, not around here. Those Algonquin wolves are a species in Canada now but still considered just a coy wolf hybrid in the US. Their range is east of the Manitoba border but mainly around the Algonquin Park area, my old stomping grounds. You can’t shoot or trap coyotes in numerous Counties around the park because of them. Quite the controversy in that area but I find the history of the Eastern wolf breeding with coyotes pretty interesting stuff.
I caught a coyote today that must have been a coyote/chihuahua pup mix. Almost tempted to do another “guess the weight” picture if it wasn’t so pathetic. 10 pounds......maybe?
