Dipped into the SW portion of Hilton Falls area, mostly Brown and Blue trails. Conditions were ok in most spots but crappy/slushy in more exposed parts. On my way out say a coyote or wolf (?) not more than 100m away on the other side of a bike bridge (this is the same area I heard them howling a few weeks ago). Snapped a quick shot but couldn't get a decent photo before it scurried off.
Zoomed in:
This guy was pretty big that is why I wonder if it could be a wolf. With the sun almost set, I was pretty quick to get out of there after this sighting. Similiar to thomass races while dusting phatty, I took a few quick glances behind me on the way out.
That makes 3 coyote or wolf sightings this year. Apparently Ontario is considering a
coyote hunt with bounty to help control the population.
