Grey Wolf

South of Georgetown, in daylight ... a Grey Wolf!

I spotted this majestic creature in a farmer's field, very close to a row of houses and livestock, south of town on 8th Line, between 5 and 10 - sideroad

I've seen many Coyotes over the years, and knew instantly that this dog was different.

VERY large, bigger than a coyote, a Grey Wolf! Large head, white and grey colouring ... beautiful!

I was surprised to see it out at dusk, and have been wondering if there's others, what they're feeding on, and if others have seen this too.

I hope to see it again ...

by: Teresa Zomparelli

In Glen Williams heading out of town after the bend, a lone, very large grey wolf jumped from the side of the road in front of my car and headed towards the trees on the other side. December 4th, around 7 am .
So beautiful, I still think about it.

32 side road and 6th side road. Erin and Acton border. We hear the coyotes and wolves. Sound like they're right outside so they're close but we've never seen them.

Hi Acton Erin friends. Spotted a black Bob cat this morning (which I am just reading now is rare), but also to my surprise, 2 grey wolves. I'm on third line on the erin/acton border. Keep your eyes out. Jean

Initially I saw the tracks in the snow but never heard them or saw the wolves. The size, straight lines, etc. meant that they could only be wolves, so I went out to try to see them but had no luck.
I heard the deep howling of wolves so set up some motion sensor cameras with night vision where the tracks were most common.
The results are in from the cameras and to my surprise, I have both wolves and cougars on my property.
Makes sense considering how many deer, beavers and everything else that I have.

by: Anonymous

One morning around dawn in February 2019, I saw two huge Grey Wolves loping majestically through the woods by highway 7 and Guelph going towards Mountainview, over the path and down the ravine towards the river in the Hungry Hollow Woods.

by: Anonymous

January 23, 2019 - Saw a grey wolf crossing eighth line at Argyle going in the woods behind the Argyle houses near the baseball diamond. Was heading towards the park. Too close to residences and in Gillard park. Called police and was transferred to animal control who told me that there is nothing they can do. Any recommendations on which authority or agency to call to take preventative action and advise community on potential threat in the neighborhood. Very concerning.

starstarstarstarstar 		Coywolf sighting - Halton Hills Acton
by: Anonymous

I was walking with my dog this morning between 7:30 - 8:30 am through the trails behind Acton arena, when I looked over into the field and there was a large grey dog-like animal lying down in the middle of the field watching my dog and I. The animal at first I thought was a coyote, but looking closer I noticed it was much larger and less mangy looking than a coyote. This animal looked to be the same size as my dog who is roughly 75 pounds, luckily my dog did not spot the Coywolf, and the animal did not act aggressively in any way, just merely watched us from his lying position the whole time. I walk in those trails often and have never had an animal encounter, it was quite a sight, although scared for myself and dog the animal was quite beautiful from a distance.

starstarstarstarstar 		Possible Wolf sighting on Hungry Hollow July 14,2018
by: Ron

Sitting at the kitchen table at dusk and saw this huge German Shepherd-like animal enter our property, it looked around for about 30 seconds and then re-entered the forest. Had gray/tan fur and looked much bigger than any coyote that I have ever seen here. Was unable to get a picture but immediately looked it up online and looked like a wolf.

by: Anonymous

I saw this animal this morning in my backyard. At first I thought it was a dog but I looked at the pictures online and I believe now it was a Wolf It was grey, white and black and was much bigger than a Coyote which I have seen before in our neighbourhood. I have two dogs which makes me very nervous. He jumped my fence and went back into the forest. I live in Glen Williams, at Meagan and Oakridge.

by: Anonymous

January 2 at 10 pm and January 3 2:30 am (2018), my two dogs went crazy in our sun-room. When I looked outside to see what was driving them crazy, (full moon, snow covered field with excellent visibility) I saw a pack of Wolves running across the field. The first evening there were 10 - 12; the second evening there were 6-7. They were magnificent looking, large beauties - German Shepherd-like. I've been here for 25 years and often seen Coyotes individually, or in pairs. This was the first time I've ever seen a pack and they were too large to be Coyotes. I live on Regional Rd 25 just south of 10 sideroad in Halton Hills.

by: Anonymous

I was salting at home in the winter and I heard a few Wolves but I was wondering if Coyotes and Wolves sound the same? I got scared and grabbed the cart, went home wondering if they got scared or were they were hunting.

I would say that generally, Wolves howl and Coyotes yip. That would be the way I would identify them. However, we tend to see and hear a lot of Wolf-Coyote hybrids in Southern Ontario (Coywolves) and who knows what sound they make!

by: Anonymous

Yea, I think I saw this thing a few years back. Saw a big fierce looking dog waking on the sidewalk on Argyle during the day. Noticed that it didn't have a owner or anybody walking it. Got closer and realized it probably wasn't a dog. The thing was huge and wild looking with a big head like you said.

starstarstarstarstar 		Wolves in Glen Williams
by: Anonymous

On September 19 2012 I stepped outside at around 8:30 pm to have a smoke, when i came outside I heard something moving in the woods, so when I turned around to look there was 3 big grey bushy looking animals and they weren't no coyotes!

I have seen lots of Coyotes in Glen Williams in my time but not anything like this.

Any one that has cats and that live in Glen Williams area near Confederation Street and Glen Crescent area, I highly suggest to leave them indoors at night.

They have been seen around here a lot lately including Tuesday night at about the same time, so pet owners in that area, do yourself a favor and keep the animals inside. Thanks.

Thank you for sending this to us, I hope the people of Glen Williams will take your advice and keep their small animals in-doors at night, and only allow their small pets outside if they are supervised.
