» Tim Hortons Inc. Q3 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
Scott Bonikowsky
Thanks and good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for joining us for our second quarter 2008 conference call. We released our second quarter results earlier today. If you've not had the opportunity yet to review this material, you can access the information on our newly relaunched investor relations section of our website at timhortons.com and by clicking on the events and presentations tab.
We have prepared a presentation to support today's discussion. You can also access this and other material associated with our call on the website in the same section, and it will be available to you for a period of one year.
Joining me on the call this afternoon for remarks are Don Schroeder, our President and CEO; and Cynthia Devine, our Chief Financial Officer. And after the remarks, we'd be pleased to take questions, for which our Executive Chairman, Paul House, will also be available and joining us for the call as well.
Before we begin today, I would like to remind everyone on the call that we may have forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which includes discussions about future performance based on current expectations and information. Various risks and uncertainties could cause our company's results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date and time made. More detailed information about these risks and uncertainties is contained within the Safe Harbor statement included in the earnings release issued and additional risk factors are also described in our public securities filings and our 2007 annual report on Form 10-K, also available on our website under the regulatory filings tab, and we'd encourage you to read that.
All Tim Hortons results are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. In the event we reference non-GAAP financial information that we have not already reconciled in the earnings release and today's slide presentation, we will post a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure on our website, as required by Regulation G.
And with that, it's now my pleasure to turn the call over to Don Schroeder, our President and CEO. Don.
Donald B. Schroeder
Thanks, Scott and hello, everyone. Thanks for joining us today. Tim Hortons has a proven business model that has stood the test of time throughout our 44 year history. Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our business model in what can only be described as a difficult and challenging macroeconomic environment. We were very pleased with both our top line growth and earnings performance in these circumstances.
Consumers today face daunting challenges, stemming from economic weakness, compounded by high gas and food prices and greater uncertainty about the future. At the same time, restaurant companies are facing volatile commodity prices and increasing labor costs, creating additional pressures within the food service industry.
While we have seen some challenges in Canada, those macroeconomic challenges are deeper and more embedded in the U.S. I would point out that the Canadian segment accounts for 92% of our revenues.
On slide five, you will see that in this environment, we delivered solid same-store sales growth in both the Canadian and U.S. businesses. In Canada, same-store sales were up 5.7%, lapping growth of 6.6%. In the U.S., same-store sales were up 3.1%, lapping growth of 3.8%.
On slide 6, we have listed several sales catalysts which contributed to the second quarter performance. The largest contributor and first item I will discuss is pricing. During the quarter, pricing contributed significantly to our growth in both markets, supported by organic growth.
Our differentiation with our customers as a destination for great quality food at a reasonable price supports our ability to take price when necessary. Generally, a measure taken to help offset restaurant level cost pressures. The timing of Easter also benefited sales this quarter, contributing about 0.5% to Canadian same-store sales and less than 0.4% to U.S. same-store sales.
We were also pleased in this quarter with continued system-wide sales growth, which includes all sales from company-operated and franchised restaurants.
In the U.S. business, our system-wide sales grew by just over 30% over a two-year period, reflecting continued growth of our brand through the expansion of our restaurant base in the U.S. markets where we operate.
Positive same-store sales growth and unit expansion in both markets contributed to an increase in operating income of 10% in the second quarter and earnings per share growth of more than 14%.
If you would turn to page seven in the slide presentation, you will get a sense of the active menu and promotional program we had in the second quarter. Our growth came, as always, from several catalysts in the quarter, including pricing, store level operations, menu innovation, and promotions.

Oklahoma State is a week away from Bedlam, and this week Oklahoma is heading to West Virginia to face Dana Holgorsen's offense and in a way get a head start on preparing for the Cowboys offense. You hate to see the Sooners inherit that advantage, but this week the Cowboys get the advantage as the Mountaineers offense was a good prep for Texas Tech's no-huddle spread offense.

From the pinto beans of Mexico to the chickpeas of the Middle East, legumes have been an important staple in many cultures for centuries. It's no wonder, because legumes — a class of vegetables that includes beans, peas and lentils — are as near to a perfect food as you can find.
A 1/2-cup portion of legumes, on average, contains at least 20 percent DV (Daily Value, requirement based on a 2,000-calorie diet) for fiber, folate and manganese; 10 percent DV for protein, potassium, iron, magnesium and copper; and 6 to 8 percent DV for selenium and zinc.
heart disease, hypertension, some types of cancer and diabetes. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that you eat at least three cups of legumes each week. So, what are you waiting for? Dig into legumes with the following helpful hints.
Environmental Nutrition is an independent newsletter written by nutrition experts dedicated to providing readers up-to-date, accurate information about health and nutrition, environmentalnutrition.com. Distributed by Tribune Media Services.
Cooking up dried legumes
It's easier than you think if you follow these tips:
Rinse and drain dried legumes.
Sort and discard damaged legumes or foreign material, such as rocks.
Use one of these methods to rehydrate:
Quick hot soak: Cover dried legumes with water, boil 2 minutes. Cover pot; soak 1 to 4 hours. Discard soaking water, cover with fresh water and cook.
Overnight cold soak: Cover dried legumes with water; soak overnight, 12 hours or more. Discard soaking water, cover with fresh water and cook.
Yield: About 6 cups from 1 pound dried legumes
How to introduce legumes into your kitchen
Stock your pantry with canned beans for a quick addition to a menu.
Bring home a bag of dried legumes to cook in chili, stews or casseroles.
Toss garbanzo or kidney beans into salads for an earthy, nutritious addition.
Serve edamame as a healthy, delicious appetizer.
Include hummus as a yummy spread on crackers and bread.
Eat hearty bean or split pea soup as a starter or main course.

I am posting to see if anyone has any suggestions for me... This is for a horse that I am leasing (I do not own him or any of his stuff).
I noticed dry spots on his withers and a bump on his spine after I rode him like the third or fourth time. Since then I have been riding bareback as much as I possibly can. I only ride him in his saddle maybe once a month though his owner rides him in the saddle at least twice a week.
Is there anything I can do to help make the saddle fit better without buying a new one? I apologize for the shoddy picture quality - they are all from my phone.
I feel like there is tightness in the withers even without the pad. (side note, I DID NOT tack the horse of in the picture with the saddle pad. That was his owner...)
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Product description
There has never been a greater need for comprehensive, well-researched information about herbs' potential to fight infection. In 1998, Stephen Harrod Buhner - a leading herbal practitioner and author - published the first edition of "Herbal Antibiotics" to great acclaim. Since then, health care providers have discovered many new resistant strains of bacteria, researchers have added to the growing body of knowledge about herbs, and the need for antivirals to treat emerging infections like SARS and West Nile Encephalitis has become urgent. Within ten years, according to sources cited in the book, pharmaceutical antibiotics will begin to fail at epidemic rates. There are, in fact, no new antibiotics currently in planning or development at any of the major pharmaceutical companies. Most notably, there is none for Gram-negative bacteria, which are emerging as the most dangerous pathogens.

A comprehensive introduction worthy to be on the shelf of any holistic practitioner, herbalist, farmer or parent. The book shows an appreciation for the melding of traditional practices, tools, and wisdom with modern research and insight. "
Back cover copy
The Essential Guide to Building Your Natural DefensesBacterial infections are on the rise, and pharmaceutical antibiotics are increasingly powerless to stop them. Pathogenic bacteria are tenacious survivors; they outsmart modern medicine and become virulent "superbugs," resistant to antibiotics and increasingly deadly.Stephen Harrod Buhner offers conclusive evidence that plant medicines, with their complex mix of multiple antibiotic, systemic, and synergistic compounds, should be our first line of defense against resistant infections. His indispensable reference explains the roots of antibiotic resistance, explores the value of herbal treatments, and provides in-depth profiles of the most reliably effective herbs, giving you the confidence to identify the best herbal formulas and make medicines yourself.

Gas from manure: Big plant to openSeptember 25, 2006
Playing science's genetic lotteryApril 12, 2006
The university will show off an experimental facility next week that takes wilted lettuce, fish heads and other leftover food bits and turns it into biogas, a combination of natural gas and carbon dioxide. Separating the CO2 leaves commercial grade natural gas.
The technology, called an anaerobic phased solids digester, has been licensed from the university and adapted for commercial use by Onsite Power Systems. In the digester, microbes eat the garbage and give off valuable gases.
Several companies are experimenting with figuring out ways to exploit waste products as an energy source. Natural gas releases fewer pollutants than coal or car gas. And the fuel stock costs little to obtain and has little independent value. Who wants a chewed up piece of meat that got spit out into a napkin, after all? In fact, garbage costs money to get rid of, so using it as fuel can cut other operational costs. (Microbes are also gaining more attention from venture capitalists.)
In Texas, Microgy is opening up a series of thermophilic digesters that will transform cow manure into natural gas and biogas. So much gas can be produced that Microgy will ship it over commercial natural-gas lines.
Eight tons of leftovers will be processed weekly at the Davis facility, and in the future the facility could turn 8 pounds of leftovers a day into gas.
The leftovers will come from some of San Francisco's fancier restaurants, including Slanted Door, Jardiniere, Scoma's, Boulevard and Zuni Cafe.
These restaurants are located about 60 miles from Davis, so trucking in the "clean" fuel stock will likely require a diesel-burning, fume-belching truck. Diesel trucks, however, can be modified to run on old vegetable oil from deep fat fryers.
"Each ton of broccoli spears, cantaloupe rinds and fish bones should produce enough energy on average to power and heat 10 California homes," the university said in a statement. "The natural gas produced could also be used to power cars and trucks."
The university, however, did not state whether it would resort to getting scraps from restaurants in the Davis region, like Murder Burger (also known as Redrum Burger) or Eppie's.
Ruihong Zhang, a UC Davis professor of biological and agricultural engineering, and Dave Konwinski, CEO of Onsite Power Systems will discuss the technology and show off the facility on Tuesday.
UC Davis is one of California's leading energy and agricultural schools. Professors there are currently working on plug-in hybrids and hydrogen cars. One start-up in the area is AgraQuest, which finds microbes that kill harmful garden pests.

NEW YORK — — The Ravens aren't Baltimore's only team worth talking about on a Monday morning. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra played an impressive away game (so to speak) Saturday night at Carnegie Hall, scoring extra points with some super-sized Beethoven, and then tackled a gospel version of Handel's "Messiah" Sunday afternoon.
The BSO's previous two appearances at Carnegie guaranteed attention. In early 2008, the ensemble gave its first performance there since music director Marin Alsop made history as the first woman to lead a full-time, big-budgeted American orchestra. A lot of press and several celebrities, among them feminist icon Gloria Steinem, turned out on that occasion.

About a month ago, a large part of the Broadway cast of

A boost that also offers buffering all in one compact pedal.
Meet the Decibel+ Buffer|Boost, a pedal that offers excellent, stable buffering and a fantastic clean boost, in one great, durable, easy-to-use package! With one single knob to accomplish everything, it trims the fat. Brian Wampler's goal was to make sure that this pedal can buffer with excellent fidelity, boost like nobody's business, yet be as easy to work with as possible. No unnecessary complications of either function, and no sacrifices when it comes to the core tone!
Whichever you need from it, it's ready to deliver. Studio or stage, it's a one-knob problem solver toolkit in pedal form. Just dial that one knob where you need it to go and you'll have the functionality you need right then - and if you ever need it to turn from buffer to boost, or boost to buffer, it's as simple as adjusting that one control.
One control. It's all you need. Order today!

Comments about Wampler Decibel + - Boost/Buffer Guitar Effects Pedal:
I have been looking for some time to find a buffer pedal to provide relief from loss of impedence due to number of pedals I use (13). This pedal provides the added power and buffered response so that all my pedals now work properly. The peticular problem I was having was with my Fuzz and Wah, with this pedal at the beginning of my pedal chain makes everything work just great.

I'd looked at several pedals that could give me some relief regarding loss of impedance in my pedal board (13 pedals) - where I was have problems was with my Fuzz and Wah. This pedal does the trick and it provides the added power so that all my pedals now work like they should.

Comments about Wampler Decibel + - Boost/Buffer Guitar Effects Pedal:
I am a Pedal Steel Guitar player and needed a good ULTRA CLEAN signal boost in front of my effects. The Wampler Decibel + gave me exactly that - with no extraneous noise or hiss. It also seems to add a very nice clean "sparkle" to my high end. I run this unit at about 11:00 oclock and it boosts my output by nearly twice. Other boosters I have tried seem to add a bit of bite or overdrive so that didn't work for pedal steel. If you need a simple - super clean signal boost, try this unit. You won't be disappointed. Also, I do not work for this company. I am just VERY picky when it comes to my sound, and this unit delivers superbly !

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
Best Price Policy
Some of our plans are also available on other websites and in printed catalogs. We are committed to selling these plans at or below the lowest price available elsewhere. If you find a regularly priced plan (not "on-sale") for a lower price, we'll beat the advertised price by 5%. We will match the price for any on-sale plans.
Once our staff is able to verify that the same plan is offered at a lower published price, Houseplans will offer the plan for sale at the lower published price less 5%. Our discount is available for immediate plan purchase only. Please call us at 1-800-913-2350.
The advertised item must be the same plan as the product being purchased, including set type (5-copy, 8-copy, Reproducible, or CAD Set), foundation options, and any miscellaneous details. Advertised prices must be in the same currency that the original product was purchased in. Our Price Guarantee does not apply to advertising errors or misprints, special prices, restricted offers, mail order offers, rebates, coupons, premiums, free or bonus offers, OEM products, limited or minimum quantity or limited time offers, close-outs, liquidations, clearances, and special financing offers.
Full sets of plans only, such as PDF, 5-copy, 8-copy, Reproducible, or CAD, are eligible for this offer. 1-copy Sets, Study Sets, Additional Sets, Materials Lists are not eligible for this offer.

I was reading an article written by Ben Cope, on
, describing an ultra light packing list for motorcycle touring. The author's 7 day/3200km sport touring ride to Morocco was his example, but the items list was short and concise. Anyone planning a ride from accommodation to accommodation, and not camping, could run as light a load, regardless of the choice bike or road surface. Just swap a spare set of goggles, instead of visor, plus some dirt gloves and you'd be set! Ben carries his kit in a backpack, we'd put it in a
Rogue Dry Bag
and strap it to the tail rack.

The ultimate checklist for those who want to cover distance without being weighed down...
...The kit above is exactly what I took with me on my 7-day 3,200 mile round trip from London to Morocco. I'm not saying it's the minimum you need to take, as that's bound to provoke a response from a reader who's been around the world on two wheels with just a pair of Y-fronts and a toothpick but this is a tried and tested formula that worked for me.
Some might call this Performance Touring; it's the kit you need when you're going places fast and want to travel light.
Let's start with what's not laid out here, the kit I wore on the bike: obviously, pants, socks, followed by thermal top and bottoms, a t-shirt and neck tube. Two-piece zip-together Gore-Tex leathers, waterproof summer boots and Gore-Tex leather waterproof gloves. A helmet and a dark visor.
And here's what's in my rucksack.
Performance Touring Checklist:
LED cycle torch (really handy for all sorts of scenarios)
Driving licence and bike's V5
Soap bag (toothbrush, toothpaste, a few aspirin, paracetamol and a couple of berroca)
Puncture repair kit
Cable lock (lighter, flexible, handy if you want to leave your lid)
Chain lube (mini can is perfect)
Clear visor
Samsung Galaxy S2 (Phone, 8MP camera, GPS, proper Sat Nav, phrasebooks)
Jeans (but cotton trousers are lighter)
Cable ties (a million possibilities)
Thick all-season gloves (great when the temp drops near freezing)
T-shirts (3 really is overkill but that's what I took)
USB phone charging cable (ask hotel receptionist if you can plug it into her computer)
Lightweight gloves (great for when it's warm, also good if your other pairs get soaked)
Flip-flops (because shoes are bulky and you want a rest from wearing your boots)
Wallet (containing cash, cards, EU breakdown, health insurance card)

Well...I figured I'd give this a try since I'm pretty much over the bar scene and all the drama involved with it. Looking for something that is worth my time I should say and more meaningful. I am a laid back type of person who likes to do just about everything. I love to have fun no matter what it is and I don't like drama and playing games. I am always up for a good time, but then again I don't mind staying in and watching a movie with someone and just hanging out! I like the outdoors as well. I've been active and played sports my whole life so I would like to meet someone who is active as well. I am into fitness and trying to stay healthy. I look for someone who has a positive outlook and takes care of themselves, someone who is honest and real, doesn't play games or lead people on. I am looking for someone that actually has a mature personality to them and knows what they want. I am done for settling for less then what I think I deserve because I know what I have to offer. I love the warm weather and tropical scenery. I am a very friendly person and if you would like to know anything more about me don't hesitate to ask! Look forward to hearing from you and seeing what comes out of this whole thing :)

While I always have a decent selection of craft beers and a few bottles of wine in my fridge for the times when friends drop by for an impromptu summertime shindig, I've decided to make this The Summer of Sangria.
Don't Miss: 5 Summer Party Wines for $10 or Less
I've never been much of a sangria fan. I've found most restaurant variations to be sickeningly sweet, so it wasn't my first choice for summer drinking. What changed my mind?

They skipped the sugar altogether and used zesty wines, flavorful liquors and tons of fresh fruit to make these sangria recipes a delight to all the senses.

This morning my 2-year-old daughter, Lila, walked over to the kitchen island and yelled, "Nana!" while pointing to the last banana in the fruit bowl. My husband tried to tell her that the black-spotted banana was destined for the compost bucket, but it's hard to reason with a toddler—so I peeled it and gave her a chunk. She thought it was a perfectly acceptable breakfast, mushy spots and all.
Many people (like my husband) don't have time for overripe bananas. But here's the real secret: those past-their-prime 'nanas are actually a true culinary treat.
Overripe bananas have an over-the-top essence that's perfect for flavoring baked goods, pancakes, smoothies and more. When I don't have time to turn them into something special right away, I peel them, pop them in a bag whole and freeze them for future cooking endeavors. Or I freeze slices on a...read full post »

I don't know a soul who will pass up a slice of yummy ice cream pie. I have a friend who requests it for her birthday in August every year, but it was also the first dessert that disappeared at a dinner potluck I attended last year—in the dead of winter. They are just that good! The only thing about ice cream pie that isn't so stellar is the fat and calorie counts in the pies you pick up at the grocery store or your local ice cream shop. But lucky for us, it's super-easy to make a homemade ice cream pie—and when you make the EatingWell version, you'll save about 150 calories and half the saturated fat per serving.

The wine aisle can be pretty intimidating. With rows of white, red and rosé wines from all over the world lining the shelves and stacked in boxes, it can be hard to decide where to spend your money. If you don't have a sommelier (a trained wine professional) hovering nearby to point out the best wines in the store, how do you know what to pick?
From my previous work in restaurants and at a wine store, I've observed that people most often choose wines based on the label. Wines with animals, pretty lettering or familiar grape varietals are the most common choices; however, a wine with an attractive label doesn't necessarily mean good value (or taste!). After testing more than 50 bottles of wine marked at $10 and under with the EatingWell Test Kitchen team (it's a tough job, but someone has to do it), we've come up with some favorites in the $...read full post »

SAN JOSE, CA - OCTOBER 10: Niklas Backstrom #32 of the Minnesota Wild in action during their game against the San Jose Sharks at HP Pavilion on October 10, 2009 in San Jose, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
ST. PAUL, Minn. Minnesota Wild goaltender Niklas Backstrom had to fight being too comfortable in net during Sunday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers. Backstrom, Minnesota's veteran netminder, said he's maybe only seen one or two occasions in his entire hockey lifetime that he's been able to enjoy the view from his own crease quite like he could during the second period Sunday. The Wild's defense, which ranks as one of the best in the NHL, earned the sweetest retribution possible by completely shutting down Edmonton's offense. Backstrom made nary a save in the second period. He wasn't needed. In a tamer rematch than expected 11 days ago when Oilers forward Taylor Hall kneed Minnesota's Cal Clutterbuck in a dangerous play, the Wild were at their defensive best. The second period was the third time in team history Minnesota has held an opponent without a shot, the last time coming March 31, 2009. No one had a better view of the shutdown effort than Backstrom as Minnesota out...

Has anyone else seen a wolf in Cades Cove?
Went to Cades Cove and saw a large wolf cross the road while in my car. It was after leaving the Old Mill/Restroom area where the deer are on the left regularly. The exiting side.
I have been hiking Cades Cove for over 30 years on the popular hiking trails and have never seen a wolf.
I understand that the Park Service has reintroduced wolves. [This seems mean, being the generations of deer have lived in somewhat peace without worrying. And for us hikers.]
Also, Cades Cove is not out in the middle of no where. The wolves can travel to nearby cities over years of multiplying. Needless to say the campgrounds.
I do not like this. It makes me afraid to hike in Cades Cove. Wolves can travel far.
The park service is also letting areas grow up and young people do not get to see how the people farmed and lived in this beautiful Cades Cove.
Not trying to start an opinion forum, just wondering about you Cades Cove Smoky Mountain visitors/lovers and your wolf sightings.
Also if you feel safe hiking with these newly added residents?
Sad, betsy3

Smoky Mountains -Cades Cove saw wolf.
Has anyone else seen a wolf in Cades Cove?
Report Abuse
My response was going to be "How cool!" I would be excited to see one and would not be worried about being out on the trails. Wolves don't attack humans in the wild. You're fine. I think this is a very good thing.

> It makes me afraid to hike in Cades Cove.
In the last century, a grand total of ZERO people have died in North America due to wolf attacks.
Let me repeat, in case you missed it: that's ZERO PEOPLE. In a CENTURY. That's a pretty rare event.
I can almost understand being afraid of being hit by a left-handed Vietnamese driver of a Yugo, as that happening is more likely than being attacked by a wolf. But the latter fear makes no sense.
BTW, congratulations on seeing a wolf (if, indeed, you saw one). Very few people in North America are blessed at being able to see one in the wild -- I envy you. If wolves are, indeed, now present at GSNP, that gives even more incentive to go there.

Starrs, there is a man who has brought his wolf to Cape San Blas for the last two years in January. The people who have dogs do not like it.

Drive from Cherokee to Gatlinburg over the mountain at night late in the dark. You will be surprised what crosses the road and is in the pull offs. We saw a wolf at 11:00PM at one of the pull offs one night. Of course we stayed in the car.
All true! Night animals of course, like fox, etc.

I saw a fox outside of Glacier NP last year. I was thrilled. Got some good pictures (daytime, obviously).

I would be far more worried about hiking with bears in CC than wolves.
A captive wolf is far different from a wolf in the wild. I wouldn't like it one bit if my neighbor owned one. But, one in the wild is no big deal, IMOP(other than seeing it is nice)
A lot of people get wolves mixed up with a large coyote). Not saying this is the case here, but it happens a lot. It amazes me how many people will say they saw a wolf in Yellowstone and they show a picture of a coyote. there are even some dogs that look a lot like a wolf.
Report Abuse
A quick look can be a mistake, I agree. But this was too big to be a coyote unless they can come as large as a wolf.
I was walking in West Virginia once near the government wildlife center and a coyote ran down on his crossing path near me. Scared the ___ out of me. He was much smaller than a wolf.
Report Abuse
Really might have been a coyote. And the deer can be a very mixed blessing (plus allowing them to be hunted).
Cades Cove provides a unique chance to view white-tailed deer.
All of the Great Smoky Mountain National park is a haven for white tailed deer, but there is no better place to view deer than Cades Cove. Smokies visitors commonly see two hundred deer if visiting the cove at sunrise. Though timid, the deer have learned to tolerate motorist stopping along the Cades Cove loop to watch them browse. Often, the deer are only ten to twenty yards away.
Depending on conditions, deer population in and around Cades Cove has reached as high as a thousand. Obviously numbers like that have a negative effect on Cades Cove's ecosystem. For instance oak tree sprouts are a deer delicacy. High numbers of deer prevent the sprouts from becoming saplings which grow into the great oak trees. The oak trees of the Cades Cove provide the acorns so necessary to the survival of many cove species. The over browsing by deer makes themselves more susceptible to disease and starvation for acorns are an important part of deer diet. If the deer's typical food disappears in the cove, the deer rely upon less nutritious foods such as rhododendron.
To counteract deer over browsing by a natural means, the Great Smoky Mountain National Park service introduced coyotes and red wolves into Cades Cove in the 1980's and 90's. The coyotes remain to this day but the red wolves had to be relocated. Smoky Mountain black bears have always preyed upon fawns and therefore help to maintain the delicate balance of nature found in Cades Cove.
Smoky Mountain visitors who visit Cades Cove in the late summer and early fall will get to see bucks with full antlers. Each year after mating season is over, the antlers fall off, usually in mid-winter. In the spring, the antlers begin to grow again and by August and September the antlers are ready implements of battle. The battles of course are between males over mating rights to Cades Cove's does. Except for the first birthing season, fawns are usually born to the does in twos. The fawns are able to walk at birth and can be weaned in six weeks. The average life cycle of the deer in Cades Cove is approximately ten years.

"...and a coyote ran down on his crossing path near me. Scared the ___ out of me". That happened to me when hiking, but it was a pheasant flushing. I was shocked at how loud it was and it took a few seconds to realize what in the heck was crossing in front of me.

If the wolf should have been red as you stated, it was not.
I heard once that the reintroduced wolves in Yellowstone were mating with the coyotes. Is that true?

I think reintroductin wolves there is wonderful. As for the deer - as far as I'm aware we have a vast overgrowth of deer everywhere and many are starving in the winters - since humans have removed the animals of which the deer are a natural prey.
As for danger - wolves do NOT attack people and generally avoid habitations at all costs. Bear are a much greater danger and there are a gazillion of them anywhere.
As for a "tame" wolf, there is no such thing. And anyone who is treating a wolf as if it were a dog definitely needs their head examined. It is, by definition, a wild animal and as far as I know, keeping one should be illegal everywhere unless you have permit for a zoo.
And agree that it would be rally hard to mistake a coyote for a wolf - although there are some large dogs than can appear wolflike. But you probably saw the real thing - and should be overjoyed by the experience.
Are you sure they are introducing "red" wolves rather than the standard grey ones?

I think that also about the grey wolf myself, after looking at pictures on the internet.

It is grey wolves in Yellowstone. I don't know, obviously. I just looked that up and posted it. It isn't my "knowledge"--it's the Park's webpage.
I have seen a coyote up close and fairly personal in DS's back yard in Denver. He was drop dead gorgeous. AND big.

This link mentions red wolves in CC
Here is one on youtube in CC, I can see how it might be confused with a wolf.

Coyotes are NOT big. Although they usually have legs longer than a dog they only weigh about 30 to 45 pounds (females on the smaller end of the spectrum) - barely into medium size for a dog. Wolves are much bigger - in the US about 100 pounds - more like a sightly taller german shepherd.

Well - you really cant tel from that video - since there is nothing to compare size against. Of course, the general appearance if the same - but wolves are twice the size.

having seen a coyote from about 30 feet, he was good sized. He was easily the size of the one in the video. Animals come in AlL sizes, outside of NYC.It is pretty silly to say "they are NOT big". They can be. Tall, not necessarily heavy.
My son's dog, who was a barky puppy at the time, was in his pen, and usually would have been barking at me coming out of the garage, but apparently had the scent of the coyote, and like Brer Rabbit, he be real quiet. The area of Denver they live in has a LOT of coyotes, and the town has hired a "guard", not to kill them but to scare them off, if he can. They are worried about small dogs--and maybe even children.

Sorry -animals have specific sizes. I'm not suggesting that a coyote is tiny - like a fox. Nor that it is capable of taking a cat or not large dog or even attacking a small child.
Never the less, a wolf is about twice as big as a coyote - and they take down animals much larger than a coyote would attempt. (Although I beleiee coyotes can take small - young - or injured deer. As can a lynx - which only way about 30/35 pounds or so. But - cats are solo hunters and IMHO much more ferocious.
As for coyotes - there have been a few in NYC - even in Manhattan - but I doubt that anyone weighed them. I was taking info from wildlife web sites - not the NYPD,

I was talking about a coyote, not a wolf. The one I saw was the size of my son's lab--a little taller, undoubtedly not as hefty--but not the size of a "medium size dog of the kind we have out here in the hinterlands.
I don't think we were talking about lynx, or bobcats, or other "cats" were we?

Congrats on seeinf one.
Yes there are Wolves in The Great Smoky Mountains. We have seen them on several visits to the area. It has always been late at night or early in the morning. We have seen them at Cades Cove and on 441 up around Newfound Gap and over on the NC side of the park.
I would recommend buying a book at Sugarlands Vistor Center next time your in the area. The Smoky's are home to many kinds of animals.

Red wolves are not 'red' in color. They are somewhere between a gray wolf and coyote in terms of size.
Good thing they have been reintroduced, the deer need to be kept in check or else they overpopulate and damage the entire ecosystem.
Somewhat off-topic, but not all black bears are black, they vary widely in color. Don't assume an animal has to be the same color as its name.

I am envious of anyone who can say they have been hiking in the Smokies for 30 years, congrats on that one. This part of the country is so amazing. I can only dream of a life living close to it. I enjoy all God's creatures in the Smoky Mountains But I have to say I've never seen a wolf.

yes there are wolves in the smoky mountains and in cades cove. I have personally seen a pack of wolves that visited my home in wears valley and couldn't believe my eyes. they are huge!!!and people in cades cove are keeping quiet about the wolves, but i do not know why. i have a friend who went to cades cove last month and personally saw one there and it wasn't a coyote,there is a very big difference in the two. you were lucky to have witnessed it. i also saw one down in Pigeon Forge in 2008 and almost wrecked my car when i saw that one. so don't let anyone tell you they aren't here or it was a coyote. Huge, huge difference in the size of the animal. we were outside of the entrance of metcalf bottoms last april and a couple was tracking a pack of wolves there on the ridge line of the mountains. hope this helps you.

I'm going there(Cades Cove) myself this weekend. I imagine I stand a better chance of seeing a German Shep. than a wolf.

Can you weigh in on this? And let me know what you think?

Having just read Willa Cather's My Antonia and its harrowing wolf attack chapter, I was curious about the history of wolf attacks on humans. According to Wikipedia, predatory attacks were a valid concern in Europe prior to the last century. In France, there were 4,600 documented fatal attacks by non-rabid wolves from 1200–1920, almost always involving women and children. Wolf attacks were much rarer in North America but not unheard of. There have been two fatal unprovoked attacks in this century, one Saskatchewan in 2005 and one in Alaska in 2010.
I am not saying wolves should not be reintroduced in places such as GSMNP in an attempt to rebalance the the ecosystem. But to state categorically that wolves do not attacks humans is not correct. They are wild animals and under the right circumstances will do what a wild animal does. It would be foolish to ignore the possibility of unintended consequences of messing with Mother Nature. Personally I think there are a host of things to be more worried about (or not worried about) when hiking in the woods.

A legit photo would be required in any circumstance that is iffy like this.

We visited the Seewee centre just north of Charleston on Saturday which is the main breeding centre Red Wolves.
Red wolves are amongst the most endangered species on the planet. There are less then 200 in the wild, many of those have been bred at Seewee and then released at coastal locations in NC. In 1988 a small number were released in the Smokies but the Seeewee centre are of the opinion that they didn't survive.
Red wolves can't cope with the low temperatures in winter, their habitat was always the low coastal plains rather than the montains. The are larger and more elegant than coyote and a huge problem is the fact that male red wolves mate with smaller coyote femails and destroy the gene pool.
The US govt is considering dropping the finding for the Red wolf project in both NC and SC, if this happends they will disappear. They are quite simply most beautiful animal on the planet.
Is physcially repulsive to read posts which imply that wolves should be shot as they eat deer.
The main destructive species on the planet is not a tiger shark, red wolf or even a bull shark.
It's the idiot that pulls the trigger.

We saw this Nov 1st in the Arts and Crafts area just off of 321 by Gatlinburg, it was walking just out of the treeline into a large cow pasture on a very rural road, it was about 700-800 feet away, and quickly disappeared into the woods. Beautiful animal!
My first impression because of its size and mannerisms was it was a wolf, but I am not sure. I do not remember nor got a picture of it walking with its tail up or down.
Here are some pictures at various zoom levels... Pictures were taken with a DSLR camera about 700 ft away...I have the original camera RAW files if anybody would like to see.
Wolf or coyote?

What a beautiful animal. I have no input on wolf versus coyote but I would bet the Park Rangers would be happy to weigh in if you sent them the pics.

I am no expert after one visit to the SeeWee centre but I have put a picture we took on my profile.
The issue is that many Wolf/Coyotes are just that, a mix of both gene pools.
The Red Wolf project rounded up 130 "wolves" in 1987 to start the breeding program and found that only a handful were genetically Red Wolves.

This is very interesting to me because I have never heard of Red wolves. In the discussion above, I thought who could mistake a coyote for a wolf? But then I have lived in southern CA (overrun with coyotes) and the Rockies where I have only seen grey wolves, much bigger animals.
In looking at the pictures of the red wolf and the coyote, I can see how it might be hard to tell a young red wolf from a coyote.
Dickie, your critter looks like a much more solid and heavier animal than a coyote to me. If it's a coyote, it's a very well fed animal!
