THere are some larger coyotes out at the End of the Cape. The Chief of Police in Wellfleet did a study and determined that they are grey wolf mixes. Coyotes aren't native to NE, Grey Wolves are. If they'd mixed with coyotes, that would explain their habits and size. Either way I wouldn't trust them. The night that KarlF spoke of, they were running all around us eating carcasses left behind. Bold wasn't the word. Could have easily touched one. I've seen them try to steal bait at high noon, and Then get yelled at for not having my dog leashed when I followed it.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
