Caught one in a snare on a fence line about 7 years ago that went 41.5 lbs- pretty big to be pure coyote.

Some of the coyotes I’ve seen here in Wisconsin are about the same height as a German Shepherd. They’re leaner, but still a formidable animal. 40 lbs would be a good estimate.

And since they are urban, they don’t have much fear of humans, although they are pretty wary of cars.

I was pheasant hunting in N.W. Kansas a number of years ago when a coyote came barreling out of a plumb thicket at me up to about 10 feet away then swerved off and kept running. He wasn't charging me, he had been flushed out by a buddy who was walking the other side of the thicket.

I always thought they were scrawny but this one was a grayish white color and about the size of a real large german shepherd...... It scared the bejesus out of me.
