What animal is this?

[Fuddy1952]

It moved canine like. I'm not saying it was a 200# wolf, but I know that area, size of trees, etc. I'm glad I was on a running tractor, not walking!
What I thought odd was it wasn't afraid.

Whatever it was, I hope it doesn't come my way! I'm not that far from you.

Why is it outside of the green tint everything is in focus and inside of the green it is not. You aren't trying to fool us with a racoon are you?

If it had a canine face then I'd suspect a stray that's wandering through

... although it could also be a very large coyote or possibly (but very unlikely) a red wolf: Red wolf - Wikipedia ... or some sort of hybrid between a large breed of dog and coyote.

Not a whole lot of large species of canines native to the US so this may also help: Distinguishing between Coyotes, Wolves and Dogs

Have any game cams ? If not I would buy a couple cheap ones and try to capture some better pic's . Whatever it is it probably runs that corridor in the dark more frequently than you think . I got lucky I guess and bought 2 Maginon WK30-HD game cams off a site called Snag Shout for $16 a piece , they work in cohoots with Amazon . On Amazon they were like $75 each I believe at the time .

I seen many & many - bobcat, coyote, wolf, cougar. THIS looks like a large tan furry BLOB. Sorry - but any possible identification would be just a guess.

I live with the coyotes & cougar and it's NOT one of them. I've shot & skinned quite a few wolf - it's not a wolf.

Any foot prints left behind?? A trail camera might get a better picture.
