Wolf or Coyote?

Yes, to a general audience, you are definitely right.. but in the hunter's world we make out the size of wolves to be larger (in our head) sometimes, which is the idea I tried to point out.
I've been trying to convince myself it's a coyote due to the number of opinions that it is one.
There are small wolves out there.

Vote coyote. I have never looked at wolf. Best answer is shoot it. If you are curious, send in DNA samples. Not that curious.

I think wolves have the place in the environment. They eat deer, and elk. Good thing. Damn right, I would shoot the animal. But, I said I thought it was a coyote.
Do not call me a poacher. I am NOT.
Would shoot the animal. It is a coyote; the worst think you can call another hunter is a POACHER. I would say what your are, but I would be banned. You know what you are and embrace it!!!

Whoa up buddy I didn't call you a poacher I said if you shoot a wolf outside a season then you are a poacher. No different then killing a deer or elk outside a season. Wolves are big game animals with the same rules and regulations.
I you are going to shoot with out knowing 100% what you are shooting at the I guess the results are on you.
Sorry to the OP for the detour. Out.

Excuse my poorly written sarcasm
There is always the possibility of it being a coywolf. I wouldn't imagine this far west though. 
I've only personally seen a Coyote/domestic hybrid. I caught it in a #4 bridger and it's paw was almost to big for the trap. Looked like a big coyote with a blocky head. It's fur was much smoother than a fluffy coyote. I took it in and asked they said that it probably was a cross. I'll try to get you some pics of it. That would explain the long skinny legs but blocky head. Also the size.

Better yet, be an ethical hunter, hone your skills and determine what it is *before* you shoot. If you can't make that call, then don't shoot.

I've read this several times and confess I'm torn between what I *think* was meant and what I *think* it says. The phrase: ". . . there is no question that it may be . . ." could be read two ways. I'm not trying to pick nits or be an asshole. I'm just curious as to which way it was meant.
There is no question, it's a wolf?
or
There is no question it may be a coyote or coywolf?
Sorry. Just looking for some help.

I vote coyote based on its legs, did the camera catch any more photos of it?
