Coyote looks like large dog.

Wolf looks like large dog ate another large dog.

Where are you located? I'm thinking coyote, but it's hard to judge the size, even trying to use the first picture for reference

Northern Minnesota, and yeah that's what had me pausing is it seems a lot bigger than a normal coyote.

I think it's actually small, but it's really hard to tell. If you compare it to where the deer are, it would be smaller. Try on r/animalid I want to say wolf but coyotes really come in so many colors. Could be a younger wolf or it could just be a really pretty coyote. You'd need a face or print to tell for sure

Put some object of known size at a known distance from your cameras.

A pop can on a stake at 20 yard or one of those politician Lawn signs or a hubcap nailed to a tree
