.22-250?
How about an M1 Garand? Or a .54 caliber Hawken?
Not kidding.
If these PETA types love the coyotes so much, then they should live together inside the same pen.
They're not picky.
The limit is 2 per day.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
Down in southern NJ they are common. So are foxes. I see the coyotes all the time by where we keep our RV. They usually stay on the other side of the swampy area. So far I have not heard of them coming into the campground. I hope they don't as I don't want my little shih tzu or pek-a-shih to be a snack for any. We have black bears and some nasty looking snakes too.

Believe it or not, here in the Piney Woods timber country of northeast Texas, timber rattlers are also (supposedly) an "endangered" species.
Let me say this about that: "When a timber rattlerand I are on the ground together, I am the "endangered species"!
My solution to the problem is:

"It's frightening in that we shouldn't have to worry about the safety of our children in our own backyard," she says. "It should not be, so hopefully something will be done about it."
Shoot them. No way people should be terrorized and forced to stay indoors over a pack of coyotes. IF they don't take action soon, it's just going to be a matter of time before some poor toddler is torn to pieces.
This is clearly the result of coyotes feeling oppressed. It isn't right that we Americans have so much, and they're forced to crap in the woods.
I think we need mandatory coyote tolerance and diversity training classes, in addition to a federally-funded garbage buffet to make things right for these poor critters.
Perhaps if they talk real nice to the coyotes, and see things from their point of view, they'll leave people alone.
Do you do a lot of trapping?
Well, since animals have more rights than humans here in Jersey....I was expecting it is our duty to feed, embrace and understand their feelings :)
I only trap water critters. Salt and fresh.
Yeah, you were lucky.
If it had been a jackalope the horns could have hit a tire.
:-)
Oh no, that would only upset the coyotes. We must embrace them. And give them our homes, and understand them.
Exactly!

They needed have bothered.
In a few years, the cougar will be making a reappearance in the east. They are already well established in Michigan.
The increase in deer herds since farming has died out in a lot of the east is presenting a good food source for them.
>>>>Funny aside, rumor here in SE PA is that the insurance companies and the game commission imported them to reduce the deer population to lower the deer-related traffic accidents and expense. Now you've heard it all, right?
There is a similar rumor in Oklahoma about cougars too.
I was on a fishing forum last year (?). Someone posted that sharks were being incubated and released.
I wasn't able to get anything more out of that poster nor could I chase down information from his nic or profile to find out anything else about him.
Makes you wonder how true those re-wilding stories are.

Don't know if they're true, but know they are unsuccessful here, anyhow. All the coyotes have managed to take here are the free range chickens and an occasional duck. I was wondering about the disappearing chickens and the neighbor called and said that they were at her place....a wing in the driveway, a head on the lawn, etc.
What are you going to shoot them with in N.J.?
Do they allow guns in that state?
