Has anyone heard of coyote attacks on pet dogs in the area of Broome and Tioga Counties, New York State? Seems coyote activity has increased in this area. Anyone having the same problems?

Well then. Coyotes have been here as you now well know as well as Wolves. If You think coyotes yipping at night is something to hear..you should hear wolves.

Can you believe this? FYI, Fullerton Ave. is just about 1.5 miles north of the Loop. It's basically downtown. The coyote had to pass Lake Shore Drive (Route 41 that goes from Chicago to Naples, Florida). It's eight lanes, lucky coyote, she beat the cars and then Mother Nature thanks to the Chicago Fire Department.

No, it works the first time. They learn fast.

I'm only 20 miles from Owego, and I've read that coyotes have been captured in Central Park.
According to the DEC there is no such animal as a coydog. BTW, Sunday morning a group of us using dogs flushed out 6 coyote. I personally dispatched 2 coyote with the 243. Longest shot of the day was 200 yards in Berkshire.
