But not sure why they would skin out a dog.

I get ya. Just goofing around. Would be cool if they killed a wolf

I'd lay bets on it being a wolf/coyote hybrid before dog/coyote mix

Got 3 doe with my bow this year. Gave away all the meat, and the wife was pissed, but those people needed it far more.

I know one was shot in Greeley County 10ish years back and one by Bassett in 2021.

Farmer shoots, kills possible wolf in Butler County
A state conservation officer suspected it was a wolf, but it could take months to complete genetic testing at a federal lab.
Not about the one in Cozad. Interesting that there have been confirmed kills in 2021.

I'm not anti hunting by any means but I can't stomach trapping. I also don't think I could kill anything dog like wolf/coyote. Can't get that separation in my brain.

My 9,3,2 yr old and I have trapped 9 coons so far around our pond this winter. Saving pheasants and quail one coon at a time. My neighbors have trapped near 20 coyotes. Saving many fawns come this spring.

That’s what I was thinking from the snout

tbh I don’t love it either, but I have seen a solid increase in fawn survival since I’ve dedicated 2-3 weeks to predator control in the early spring - to just at least get rid of the pack long enough for fawns to grow enough to be able to survive running from a pack.
Plus - I usually get enough in yote hides to be able to buy a new hunting toy off the wife’s radar

There's entirely too many coyotes. I have no ill will for someone that does it. I just personally get no enjoyment or have a purpose to do. I don't have a regular place to hunt either.

I thought similar to this prior to really helping to manage and hunt a property. But after hearing them howl at dusk right after you’ve shot a nice deer, I’ve got no problem with it anymore.
I do have a problem with people not checking traps enough though. Having animals trapped for days while they waste away is not cool.

Our turkey population has exploded from trapping coons. Saw over 60 in one afternoon sit come through the field. Was insane

I get it. Trapping was a huge part of winter activities where I used to live. I used to occasionally help out a buddy on his trapline where we caught marmots, otters, beavers, and wolverines. We never got a wolf but some of my students did. I don't have a problem with it but it wasn't something I enjoyed especially when compared to deer, moose, pheasant, etc.
It wasn't an ethical thing either as I had a fur ruff on my parka, beaver mitts and hat, etc. To each their own.

Family got a new parcel with a nice lake, beaver and otter in there… it’s nuts how much damage a beaver can do, so the traps are out!
Will be a fun place… hundreds of Canada and Speckle bellies around and on the lake all the time right now
Edit: gets to 40’ deep and the crappie are thick! Good bass too.
