My Uncle use to tell stories about running coyotes down on horseback. Sometimes they roped them but usually just beat them with their rope and killed them. He said a coyote will always be looking back over his shoulder so they could catch up to them pretty easily. I have to think having that wolf on the end of the first lasso would be a little dicey until the second roper got hooked up.

I'm guessing they dallied and headed in opposite directions.
 
Horses look tired. Must have had to drag him a few to get back to the camera.

Looking at the caption of the photo I believe it says "roping gray wolf".
If that is a mature gray wolf, it looks like the size of a very large coyote.
Nothing like the northern timber wolves they transplanted back in today.
 
My dad and another cowboy were working a ranch on top of La Veta pass in the 40s. One day they ran across a young boar and decided to rope it. The bear happened to be climbing down from a tree at the time. Then they took it to the corrals near our house. Dunno if the corrals or the house is still standing. I went through there several years ago and there were some quanset huts to the east of the house.

Mom wasnt too happy, didn't wanna cook it and made them let it go.
