Looks like big coyotes to me but would be cool if it was a new species of canine.

Could there be a wolf pack living in Illinois? Man

back from 2012 from the DNR

In the past 10 years, Illinois hunters and others have encountered wolves in the state on various occasions, including a wolf struck by a car in McHenry County near Chain Of Lakes State Park in 2005. The potential for range expansion will continue as long as habitat and food sources are available.


but i think the main point is they are now saying a PACK might be in IL, vs a stray one or two roaming around.

[MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION] almost got eaten by a wolf up in the northwoods while braaaping one night. Seen the eyes reflecting in the woods as we rode past.

All I got.

I still they are oversized coyotes.

Probably just chupacabras being mistaken for wolves...

I've personally seen one running around out here about 20 years ago. Unless it was a 100+ pound coyote on steroids.

Big coyotes or hybrid coy wolves? I’ve been 15-20 feet from those things behind my house in Elgin and I’m pretty sure [MENTION=10801]Ti28[/MENTION] has seen them too.

There are some big ass coyotes out there but a big difference between a big coyote being maybe 60 lbs on the high end, and a 100lb Wolf, the house I grew up in was pretty deep country we had several coyote packs around they would chase my dog at night in the yard they were nearly as big as him at 75lbs some sort of hybrid dog coyote mixes I believe

Id believe these were a wolf coyote hybrid over a pack of red wolves, for example.

We have wolves,coyotes and coywolves. And video shows all three.

0-40seconds - coyotes. The picture at 40 seconds is a coywolf. The thing at 53seconds, no clue. Maybe a inbreed yoti or coywolf?

I've been up-close and personal with coyotes and coywolf. Have heard wolves at night up north.

Right now our yoti population over here isn't looking to pretty. Two of the normal's have mange and another one caught lead poisoning a few months back.

I got persimmon to hunt in the corn fields surrounding the house last year. Was out scouting a spot for fall goose and duck when that fucker popped it's head out, came back the next day at the same time and bam!
