That wolf/coyote cross breeding hypothesis has been suggested for at least forty years that I know of in northern New England. Don't know if its been proven but coyotes in the mid-seventy lb. range have been killed up this way. As I understand, 35 - 45 lbs. seems to be the average in the West and Southwest.

Steve Hodges may be able to speak to this subject - he having been in the game-management business in NH and Maine for a lot of his career.

New England Coyotes poses about 8% wolf genes. As time goes on these wolf gene traits will become more pronounced through natural selection creating larger Coyotes and more wolf like hunting and family behavior. The mentioned picture shows wolf like hunting behavior, by that i mean pack hunting. We do not need to re-introduce wolves to New England, they are re-introducing themselves.
