A beautiful creature, but still a wolf. This one would not take his eyes off me until he heard the shutter click. Too late, GOTCHA!

They are beautiful creatures!
This is an amazing shot. How close were you to him?
But they ARE wild and not to be trusted. We have them around here along with dog-wolves. Neighboring farms have lost cattle to them.
He's beautiful. Great shot, Jim.

He came to within about 30', knew something was not quite right but wasn't sure until the click. I'm told, often they will wait until they can confirm danger with a second sense, like scent, movement, sound, etc. Until that second sense kicks in they can sometimes be very curious.
That is really awesome! Great shot!
Great Work Jim!!!
Wow! How cool is that? ;) We've got coyotes around here where I live. I've never seen one, but sometimes I hear them at night.
Thanks everyone.

Yeah, we don't have them locally here either. We hear of sightings frequently but I don't think any have been confirmed. There is however a major problem with people breeding the hybrid "wolf-dog" and many end up running wild in the country side along with the coy dogs you mention. Glad you liked the shot Norty.
