When I said 90 pound I was just guessing I have no idea what dogs weigh I never owned one, so if it was 60 75 or what ever I was sure it was the size of an aerdale german shepard. dogs do tend to weigh more than a wild coyote seeing they are very well fed.
I did lose a cat 2 yrs ago mid July found her eaten in the woods, my daughter didn't take it to well either. I have noticed my 2 cats have been really jumpy the last week. I don't think me killing it is an option seeing I own no guns and I don't want to posion a cat or dog. PLus we have 3 hawks living in our trees. we also have fox, deer, raccoons, wild turkey and probably skunks, the rabbits have slowly diappeared, but I have never seen one. I am just going to keep my eyes open and tell my neighbors the rabbits have slowly diappeared

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.

Interesting.... I`ve read hugely varying information on these critters.

A wolf hybrid many hundreds of years old, moved to NE 200 years ago, moved to NE in the 30s and 40s.....native but killed off now back, not native..... whatever the truth may be they are WILY for sure....

Good health and family
