Nice catch. Most all of the black ones I've seen have a white chest.

Pretty coyote! Good job
Yep, every single black one I've seen has had the white spot.

I think Bartram described them that way in his book.
He did, indeed.

That's a nice one! Congratulations!
I seen one this past Deer season that was that dark from the shoulders forward but not real dark aft. Big male.
I seen him about the same time he seen me and he took off before I had time to react.
He was going to a Deer I killed and by the disturbance around the dead Deer, he thrashed around a little before he expired. I'm convinced that Coyote heard all that. He was headed straight for the Deer.
Great catch !

So are they actually wolves? Or descendants of coyotes and Bartrams wolf mix? Got a few cam pics but I've never actually seen one.
All eastern "coyotes" are apparently a coyote/wolf hybrid. Every DNA study done on them so far bears this out, plus, their size, packing tendencies, and color variations. They ain't the same coyote critter that's out west. It appears that the red/Bartrams wolf wasn't as extinct as they thought it was.

There was a new study published recently i think the DNR put it out but i forget. Im sure you can find it, but it had the wolf dna at about 45% if im remembering. So yeah. Alot of wolf.

I think some areas of the state have more red wolf blood than others.
And there's never been a black coyote found west of the Mississippi that I know of.
