Wolf? In the city? Where?
Guess someone did not dig fast enough: http://www.postindependent.com/news/...ight-be-a-wolf
Let me get this straight... Professionals were unable to determine if the animal was a wolf upon close inspection but a hunter may be charged for believing it was a coyote and shooting it from who knows how far way. Makes perfect sense to me. Maybe the hunter should of had it DNA tested before shooting it [emoji85]Quote:

I saw a "lost" poster the other day. His name is Charlie and he's half shepherd half lab. Good around children and likes chickens.
Now I understand that the story was a little misleading. NOT A COYOTE.Quote:

That wolf looks badass! 90 lbs? Watch out!
I've got two ranchers in eastern Colo. that told me that they have seen a wolf in recent years. One rancher actually saw the "wolf" on two different occasions and the other rancher got a real up close look at the one he saw. From their descriptions to me, if it were truly a wolf that they saw, it was not the same wolf.
I know it's possible, but I pretty much in the back of my head doubt it. But then last winter while calling coyotes on the one ranch, I was using vocals, and I got a vocal response that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Wolf sounding for sure, but I never got to see it. So then I started thinking the old rancher wasn't off his rocker after all.
Remember, just two years ago a wolf was killed in KS. as well. So they do wander through these parts.
