Well, a few years back I was driving back down the highway from the upper end of the alps and saw a very tall and slender dog slowly trotting across the highway. As I drew closer I noticed it's head shape wasn't at all dog-like, but it was in fact a coyote. A crazy tall coyote! The first thought I had was "I wonder if it somehow bread with a wolf?" Highly unlikely, but it stood at least a foot taller than any other coyote I've ever seen, and I almost got close enough to hit it if I'd swerved, so I was definitely close enough to get a great look at it.
I don't doubt that animals from other areas have worked their way over here at some point, probably loners or outcasts for the most part. Sorry to those it bothers, but if I saw a wolf in the woods around here while hunting, I'd shoot it. We have enough predators already controlling an ever dwlinding deer population. But hey, I'd probably shoot a poacher too, if there weren't such a tidy bounty on their heads
