They are pretty darn gutsy here in NY.
They have been in the yard outside the door.
Absolutely no fear of man.
Oh, and New York wants you to have a predator license, a nuisance animal license AND a hunting license as well before even thinking of tagging a coyote.
You’d think one would confer the others but no, bureaucracy in motion here.
Also, nevermind that coyote are opportunistic scavenging pests...
Im in Upstate N.Y. I hear packs howling nearby all the time. I’ve seen maybe 5 here in my lifetime. Most people who do see them go looking for them, hunting after dark. Actually I see more fox and bear than coyote.
