This is another hoax. Someone also tried to pass it off as the new record coyote for the State of NY.
This is from a wildlife biologist from another site that called them to check on what was going on.
"OK Guys and Gals, here's the straight scoop on this 115 pound coyote. I called the Cortland office of the NYDEC and a nice lady told me that the largest coyote on record with them is a 52 pound coyote. The photo posted above here is the photo of the supposedly 115 pound coyote. No one can confirm that it is a coyote, nor did she say they had the carcass so they could do testing. It sounds like another one of those hoax things going around the Internet.
Here's a link the lady gave me to one site where that photo is posted with a write-up underneath it. You may have to scroll down a little bit to see the photo.
Outdoors Niagara Hunting Web Site
I also talked to a DEC law enforcement officer out of the Syracuse office and the scuttlebut he had heard about the animals in the photo was that the deer was a one year-old buck and that the canid on the ground with it was a neutered red wolf. Yes, a neutered red wolf. It is legal to own wolves where that photo was taken, (either PA or NY, I don't know which) so that animal was probably someone's pet wolf that got shot. The lady I talked to felt that if this was, in fact, a real photo, that it might have been someone's pet. She didn't say it was a red wolf though.
If you want more information, call (607) 753-3095 and get ahold of someone in the Bureau of Wildlife."
