 It's a Yote. But, being born & raised near the Canadian border in N.H. we ran into an interesting strain back in the 70's. Seems the stray dogs that ran the woods freely were making good friends with the Yotes. We called them Coy dogs, mean suckers and not afeared of humans either.

That is what we have here on Cape Cod and they have attacked several people over the last couple of years, from  12 year old boy waiting for a bus, the an adult woman and her husband who ran to her screams to help her in her fenced in back yard in Marston Mills, the husband struck and severly injured the "coyote" with a board or 2x4 and the police arrived and shot it. There was also among some others an adult male greenskeeper at Cape Cod National Golf Course, a very exclusive private course (100K to join!!!) that was attacked an bitten severly by a single coyote about 3 years ago. And yet the tree huggers here say "we" are bothering "them". Coyotes, more correctly "coy-dogs" are not an indiginous species here on Cape Cod and arrived only about 20 or 30 years ago as far as I have read.

That also resembles what myself and my buddies hunt in Maine, larger than the western coyotes and a 60 pounder is not unusual. I have a nice reddish blonde pelt of a 38 pounder I got on Cape Cod about 10-12 years ago on Cape Cod hanging in my camp and my buddy from Millinocket has a larger one of our mid winter snowshoe hunting excursions in Maine hanging in his place, it's only the nice color phases we got tanned....<><.... :)

By now I'm sure it's just a pile of hair and bones in the field. ;D
 
Thanks for the replys. I'll keep watching and see if I can find another colorfull one when I have a small caliber rifle.

Best wishes for the New Year to all my GBO brothers and sisters. Have a safe one.

sluggo, my son and daughter-in-law live on the north side of the Cape near the water, behind thier house is an old large well established and well maintained farm. They hear many coyotes at night  they have seen fisher cats in thier back yard!!! I was (am?) skeptical about the fisher cats but they both insist they have seen at least the same fisher a couple of times if not a couple of different ones. They are worried thier children, my grandchildren, 3 years old and 5 1/2  months old. The children are never left alone of course but I am still worried, what with the coyote attacks over the last few years. They are worried more about the fisher cats since they see them near the house and only hear the coyotes at night, I have told them the fishers won't be much of a threat...What do you think?....<><.... :-\

The way he stopped to look back at me he was probably the breed "Baca Enu".

Nope, that was my friend's NEF 270 I used.
