...just joking, seriously.
Wolves are notably LARGE.
Hard to gauge their size in those pictures...

I killed a 50+ pounder a couple weeks back just up the road in union County. I thought it was someone's dog when I first seen it.

Red wolves are present in the Smokey Mountain National forest in NC. I imagine their range is fairly large. I'm pretty sure they are protected too.
All eastern coyotes they've DNA tested are at least about 25-30% wolf. Different hybrid critter here than the western coyotes.
I`m convinced that what we have here are red wolves. The ones in the wild look and sound like the red wolves in the breeding program at Chehaw Park in Albany. And they run in packs.

Coyotes have pointed ears, wolves have rounded ears

Yotes
What are these?
You can argue with the scientists who do DNA studies on them and say that they are about 1/3 wolf, and convince them you're an expert on it, then. Go look at a western coyote. They look nor act nothing like our hybrid canines. Nor do they have color variations like ours. We're talking more about red wolf/ Bartram's/Florida wolf here than northern timber wolves.

Yep. Saw one Saturday evening Nic. Ain’t no doubt that was what it was.

The bottom picture but with a little more red is what I saw.

They do have kinda rounded ears. Maybe hybrids. Coydogs
I live about 25 miles from a facility that raises pure-blooded red wolves for reintroduction programs. I've spent a good bit of time observing them. I see "coyotes" on a regular basis that look just like the ones over there.
Recent trailcam pics from my place:
Except the numerous DNA studies don't show dog DNA. Very little of it. They show mostly at least 30% wolf DNA.

I’ve spent a lifetime in the woods. I live in the Oconee National Forest. I’ve seen coyotes on a kill and one howl from the woods sends them running away like the devil was after them. A few minutes later the big boys showed up. Bigger than a yote and their eyes were a different size and meant business when they stared up at me in a tree. Didn’t take but a few minutes for them to finish that deer off then they were gone. Don’t see the small coyotes now that we saw in the sixties and early seventies. All are like Nic’s pictures.
