The Eastern "Coyote" isn't the same critter as the western coyote. Its MUCH larger and hunts in packs. They are believed to have evolved from western coyotes which hybridized with eastern wolves in Canada and then moved south into the deer ridden forests of the northeast to fill the "ecological niche" of the timber wolf.

That's what I read too at the PA game commission site when I was trying to identify the two canines down in the foal pasture. Apparently they are omniverous and opportunists; would rather much on something small and easy rather than take down anything of size.
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?
