RE: 115lb PA Coyote
The pix isn't coming up for me. Based on what Wimp is saying, I think I saw this on two other websites. I believe it's laying next to a 7pt and there is snowflakes in the air. If so, it was picked apart on both sites.

RE: 115lb PA Coyote
looks like a timberwolf-malamute hybrid to me. I'm sure it was someones pet that got loose. People have been breeding them for years around the country. They make great pets if raised properly. Shame that they allowed it to run loose or escape.

If it was from Maine, it would be more believable, since up here the 'yotes have wolf genes in them. Considering this was supposedly a pic taken in PA, I'd say the odds are that there are some domestic dog genes in there somewhere. A full blooded coyote just doesn't weigh that much! A coy/malamute could easily reach that size however, and that's what it appears to be IMO.
