Grey wolves in Tennessee?

[BigCityBubba]

Has anyone heard of a grey wolf being killed around paris tn? One was killed 10 years ago in Kentucky so it seems very possible. I heard one was killed in the last couple years and it got tested and was 97% grey wolf and 3% coyote.

Here is an article about the grey wolf killed in Ky. The interesting things that should send the conspiracy theorists into overdrive is that the wolf had some plaque on its teeth which would indicate that it may have spent some time in captivity. Was the wolf someone's illegal pet or a wolf trapped for breeding to make wolf hybrids or even more sinister did someone illegally releases wolves into the regions? Some people believe that twra released coyotes in TN. What if the Obama administration released grey wolves into the south?

Good to see that common sense prevailed and they didn't charge the hunter.

We had one in Middle Tennessee but this killed it and ate it.

"wildlife officials were aware that a few radio-collared northern wolves have wandered as far south as Missouri in the past decade."

That would make it plausible imo.
