I remember reading an article from a couple years ago in Field & Stream(?) regarding a cross between the red wolf and eastern coyote. I couldn't find it online but here's one from 1992 http://books.google.com/books?id=atNDlmZ...ed=0CBwQ6AEwAQ#

I don't know how much validity there is to the idea. I do know that the few coyotes I come across each season appear to be rather large. Three years ago, one of the guys in our camp shot a large male coyote that weighed 63lbs on the camp scale. Many of the sporting goods stores in the northern tier of the state hold coyote contests. Every year I've seen results for those, there are always several in the 60+ lb range.
