What is it? Maybe a coyote?
Just got back home last night from latest trip to NWA. Pulled the game cam SD card today and found these pics. First one doesn't appear to be a leg from a dressed deer unless it is a shoulder that was buggered and whoever killed it left it with the carcass.
From the rear it was hard to tell if was a coyote, wild dog or possibly the neighbor's GSD. Later pics show side profile so definitely not the neighbors dog. Most coyotes I see are always scraggly/mangy looking. Not a wolf and not my outside dog who is a blue heeler. Looks too big to be a fox. I'm puzzled.
What say you?
This last pic is just for a smile. My cat is an inside cat so this isn't Cleo. Ghost cat?

Me thinks it may be a canine (Canis latrans), hauling off a late dinner, breakfast and lunch.
The coyote is listed as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, due to its wide distribution and abundance throughout North America. Coyote populations are also abundant southwards through Mexico and into Central America. The species is versatile, able to adapt to and expand into environments modified by humans. It is enlarging its range by moving into urban areas in the eastern U.S. and Canada. The coyote was sighted in eastern Panama (across the Panama Canal from their home range) for the first time in 2013.
The coyote has 19 recognized subspecies. The average male weighs 8 to 20 kg (18 to 44 lb) and the average female 7 to 18 kg (15 to 40 lb). Their fur color is predominantly light gray and red or fulvous interspersed with black and white, though it varies somewhat with geography. It is highly flexible in social organization, living either in a family unit or in loosely knit packs of unrelated individuals. Primarily carnivorous, its diet consists mainly of deer, rabbits, hares, rodents, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, though it may also eat fruits and vegetables on occasion. Its characteristic vocalization is a howl made by solitary individuals. Humans are the coyote's greatest threat, followed by cougars and gray wolves. In spite of this, coyotes sometimes mate with gray, eastern, or red wolves, producing "coywolf" hybrids. In the northeastern regions of North America, the eastern coyote (a larger subspecies, though still smaller than wolves) is the result of various historical and recent matings with various types of wolves. Genetic studies show that most North American wolves contain some level of coyote DNA.
The coyote is a prominent character in Native American folklore, mainly in Aridoamerica, usually depicted as a trickster that alternately assumes the form of an actual coyote or a man. As with other trickster figures, the coyote uses deception and humor to rebel against social conventions. The animal was especially respected in Mesoamerican cosmology as a symbol of military might. After the European colonization of the Americas, it was seen in Anglo-American culture as a cowardly and untrustworthy animal. Unlike wolves, which have undergone an improvement of their public image, attitudes towards the coyote remain largely negative.

Puss and Boots is most likely on the menu.
Folks loose a lot of small pets, dogs and cats to the song dog.

I thought coyote at the offset. Just never saw one that looked that "healthy".

Next question is how am I going to get rid of him. Don't know if I'm up to sitting in the woods in the middle of the night to kill him. Assume I won't be able to entice him in with bait during the day.

Chupacabra. Sorry, BS, imaginary Puerto Rican myth, but on this board, someone had to say it.

Will be hard to erase the Yote. Like mice where you see one there are a dozen more. Sorry.

Do you have to hunt 'em at night or can you get a call and bring them up in daylight? I'm not opposed to sitting in a blind and calling. For some reason 30 degrees at night just feels colder than 30 degrees during the day. I have a motion activated light that I put on the picnic table in deer camp for when I get up at 0430 and start stumbling around outside prepping to hit the woods. I could put it outside the blind so I could actually see the 'yote IF I have to hunt him in the dark.
