Midwest too. As I've mentioned on several wolf threads, if you shoot one did you shoot a wolf, endangered, threatened or out of season in most states, or a coyote, year round hunting in many states.
Target!
I missed one at 350 yards the other day, because I’m not a very good shot.
So they deny hybridization for decades and then blame it on people.
Coyote is pronounced kai-o-tee.
Is coywolf pronounded kai-wolf?
They’re all around us.
Georgia law classifies them as a “varmint”.
Kill them at will.
“The mixing of the two species has even created hybrids with their own distinct sounds “
Are they two different species if they can mate and produce viable offspring?
If they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, then they are NOT "two species", they are just different breeds.
A chihuahua doesn't look like a golden retriever, which doesn't look like a mastiff. But they are all dogs.
Sounds like these critters are not gonna be popular with many FReepers around here...
Not popular with livestock owners either. Nothing happens until they eat enough dogs to get the suburbanites angry. I think the interesting thing is distinguishing them from wolves.

An Ottawa study found that they are descended only from the wolves in that province, where there is a large national park surrounded by city.
Coyotes spread into the areas where wolves were searching for mates. The hybrid offspring had a wider diet, reduced food needs, more help for hunting and greater tolerance for the suburbia.
They’ve spread from there throughout the northeast, like Chicago.
Hopefully, a pack of them will eat Mikey Bloomberg.
Around these parts, the animal is called Coydog, been around more than 20 years. Pronunciation of the first syllable is “Coy” as in “being coy.”
Since coywolves continue to mate with dogs and wolves, the argument goes, they are therefore not a species. But, given the way coywolves came into existence, that definition would mean wolves and coyotes should not be considered different species either—and that does not even begin to address whether domestic dogs are a species, or just an aberrant form of wolf.
From what I hear, the wolves have become a problem unto themselves as well...large packs are decimating elk & deer populations...
Coyotes around here are scrawny varmints...typically only take rabbits, ground squirrels, cats and the occasional small dog.
Absolutely. I’ve known many people who’ve lost beloved dogs and cats to them. Not to mention livestock.
I’m more worried about a deer running out in front of me while driving. They’re everywhere now. Last few days I’ve seen alot of carcasses on the side of the highway.
Nobody reads “White Fang” anymore.
