Im in Chemung County. I’ve heard stories and experienced them encroching camp sites but neve close enough to be seen and I’ve never heard of an actual attack. I’m more worried about the stinking inbred attack dogs the neighboors call pets.
You’re farther north than I am.
Down here closer to the border between NY. NJ, and PA we have had problems with them to the point that people have begun to practice the three “S’s”.
Pretty stinking sad too.
The local wildlife official can’t be bothered to come out when they receive a notice that there is a problem coyote.
Another thing about ‘here’, the coyote here travel in packs, wholly unlike normal coyote behavior.
We have an annual coyote hunt, but the animal worshippers [PETA] and the anti-hunters shriek about it every time.
The coyote here breed large groups that end up unhealthy and sick.
Guess when the problems with them start...
