Yea, the hybrids here in N.E. are much more wolf-like. Handsome animals that I wouldn't want to run into unarmed. I hear them often in the fields and saw a pack of them moving through the back yard one moonlit winter night.
Not coincidentally, rabbits, once so plentiful they were almost tame to a human walking amongst them, have become a rarity. Rarebits.
I had at least 30 rabbits near & under my hay stack in early November. The coyotes came in & I am down to only 6 that I can see every day. 4 jack rabbits & 2 cottontails.
