Seen a wolf dog yesterday.

Was in the backyard with my dog. Looked down in the woods and seen a dog that looked like a wolf. I didn't look long cause we ran into the house. Didn't want my dog and it to get into it. The dog was long wired haired with a lot of grey and maybe some Merle.
I knew a wolf dog, some 90% wolf years ago, named Dakota. They are pretty animals. This dog yesterday seemed cool but I'm not exactly sure what the breed is. There are also coyote dog mixes around, and said to be aggressive. Again I didn't look very long but it seemed like a wolf dog. It was moving along like a wolf.
A few minutes after I had seen it. I was inside looking out the back door's window. Witnessed a white tail deer running the other way the dog went.
It's kinda rare to see much other than deer around. Seen a fox once and only once in these parts. Not much wilderness around here anymore, but a few places a creature could hide.

The appearance of the wolf dog always follows the coming of the sun dog.

I live in the sticks. My friend used to have a timber Wolf dog hybrid it was really cool not real mean but had to be put outside cause it pissed all through the house.
The coyotes here are everywhere at night they sound scary as shit when you're all alone walking through a dark woods but not one bit aggressive they run like a mother fucker when they see you. And most of the time you only see them is when their dead on the road.

I had some coyotes try and snag my brother’s dog one night out in the wood’s at the front of the property one night when we lived out in the sticks. They slipped right in there and then ran off when we raised some hell and were gone before the 10ga got there.
You would hear them pretty often at night about 3/4 of a mile nw just going off howling and going nuts and would show up in random places on trail cams slipping through. Hella nuts what creeps on through when it’s quiet at night and nobody’s around.
Never saw a wolf tho. Wolf hybrids are dope as fuck. Watch your dog yo..

No doubt small 30lb dogs they will deff go after. My shepherd tore into a couple at our house he had a couple Knicks but the coyotes were never again to be seen. Lol. Any dog over 100 lbs can handle a couple of em its when there's 30 that you run into trouble.

Bro you shouldn't run from an animal. Especially a canine. It triggers their instinct to chase and they can definitely out run you.
Might have been a stray husky or malamute and not a hybrid tho.

Probably a coywolf?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coywolf "Genomic studies indicate that nearly all North American gray wolf populations possess some degree of admixture with coyotes"
"samples taken from 425 eastern coyotes to determine the degree of wolf and dog introgressions involved in each geographic range. The domestic dog allele averages 10% of the eastern coyote's genepool, while 26% is contributed by a cluster of both eastern wolves and western gray wolves. The remaining 64% matched mostly with coyotes. This analysis suggested that prior to the uniformity of its modern-day genetic makeup, multiple swarms of genetic exchanges between the coyotes, feral dogs, and the two distinct wolf populations present in the Great Lakes region may have occurred, and urban environments often favor coyote genes, while the ones in the rural and deep forest areas maintain higher levels of wolf content. A 2016 meta-analysis of 25 genetics studies from 1995–2013 found that the northeastern coywolf is 60% western coyote, 30% eastern wolf, and 10% domestic dog."

Could be. Most of the states no longer have wolves. And much of the coyote population has hybridized with other canines. Mostly dogs.
If OP lives where I think he does though I'd be very surprised if it wasn't just a big grey dog.

You wouldn’t see a wolf, for sure. Wolf dog maybe. I’ve met a few of them myself, huge fucking things they are. Hard to mistake, I’d think, if you’ve seen them before. Though some breeds can take you by surprise, especially from a distance.

Wolves are rare because they aren't very smart and get pushed out of the job market for the most part.

There are no wolves in Ohio. But, people release wolf dog hybrids that are mostly wolf. Hell, I've been to someone's property that had a mountain lion in a big outdoor cage.
I used to want a wolf dog. But I live in the city and they would consider a wolf dog a dangerous dog. Imloke having a dog that behaves well and is social. Even though my dog can be a dick cause he was bit by 3 other dogs. So now he goes nut's when he see's dogs he doesn't know.
Whatever the dog was it looked mostly wolf. Not saying due to it's head but the way it carried itself very quietly and the hair. Never seen a grey huskie before. Who knows what breed they bred with the wolf and backcrossed with. To get to high 90%s must take a good bit of litters, increasing wolf as they breed.

Eastern Coyotes are huge and have been spotted in pretty populated areas - I see them at my folks cabin in the mountains literally right infront of our porch, but only in the last year. They're pretty big, and really pretty..I only ever see solitary animals so I guess the ones I've seen are mostly hunting small prey. They look like this :
The area is within a huge nature preserve, the deer population is ridiculous and not shy - hunting is huge in the surrounding area, and on this particular mountain you literally stumble across a group of does and fawns every 50-100 feet if you're driving around dusk, luckily they don't really dash and folks around here drive slowly because they know. We don't really have next door neighbors, but I know folks around here who literally set out troughs, and they graze in our meadow at dusk and it's beautiful.....BUT I've started getting kind of worried - overpopulation is never good and though I don't have the stones to shoot something, I recognize how important responsible hunting is now more than ever - something has to eventually fill that hole? Whether the coyotes start hunting more like wolves and taking down small deer, or whether they get hit with an inevitable disease. The black bears are the only other big predator but they're omnivorous and aren't taking down deer anytime soon.
