Eastern coyotes aren’t the same as western coyotes. They’re a mix of coyote and wolf and are indigenous to the east. One report I read said that the original cross occured in eastern Canada close to a hundred years ago. They could be a new species for genus Canis.
The ones I’ve seen in PA are around 50 lbs. And yeah, they’re dangerous. I agree with the regs in PA. They can be shot year round.
Eight to twelve is not an infestation. Weirdo creeps.
Indeed. I live in Quincy and I see them all the time. I walked out my house last week and right across the street was a coyote standing in the lot where theyre building a home ,staring at me and my kids lol. I see them roaming the main streets during daytime. I will say it seems like theres an overabundance of turkeys and rabbit, more than Ive ever seen.
Has Abbott been busing them in?
I remember the stories about rich, liberal towns in Massachusetts and Connecticut hiring animal control specialists, at great expense, to trap deer and release them in rural areas rather than shoot them. And some residents would go to great lengths to feed them. I wonder if they’ll do the same with the coyotes.
They’re thick around here. And they get pretty big. I have pictures of one strolling down the middle of the block in our suburban community. It was about 40-45 pounds.
And they have absolutely no fear of man anymore. A friend of ours had their dog taken 5 feet from them in their backyard. A lady across the street had one yank her kids lunch right out of his hand while he was waiting for the school bus one morning.

I’m sure the guys from MFK Game Calls would love to help them out!

If I lived there I would get a carry permit and hunt them myself. I’d even bring my neighbor’s dog on leash to be the bait! LOL!
Before I moved to SW Florida I lived in NH. The fishers took the outdoor cats there. Here in Florida we have bobcats, coyotes, hawks, owls and bald eagles. They will all eat your cat or small dog. All cats live indoors and dogs are on a leash.
When I was a kid I lived by the beach in Swampscott, Mass. We could see Nahant from my porch. Tony Conigliaro lived there. It is a very small rock with many houses. It should be pretty easy to locate and dispatch the coyote population.
There should be greater concern about the liberal infestation.
Less people with guns in that part of Massachusetts too. This helps the coyotes to breed rapidly.

Hi.
Coyotes are on the rise in the Bay area. We see them a lot, even during the day.

When I was a boy in the 60s I lived in Central Mississippi and we had a Lakehouse across the river in Louisiana at Lake Bruin just south of Vicksburg and we would see coyotes and armadillos but back then never east of the river
It’s a big ass river there now those sons of bitches are in Central Park I hear at times and I’ve seen coyotes in downtown Nashville it’s amazing very smart dogs
I’ve tried to call them in to shoot them at my Deer camp and you cannot get them to come in except on open terrain they always circle around to get behind the wind
Coyotes can easily climb over a six foot fence, which is frequently the height limit on fences set by municipal ordinance. Coyotes can easily climb a six foot fence and are a danger to not just small pets but also babies and small children. Don’t rely on that low fence to keep anything in the back yard safe from coyotes.

Coyotes give my Rottweilers a wide berth but a female Coyote in heat will allow them to mount her
A friend of mine was a Memphis LE and saw coyotes crossing the Hernando DeSoto Bridge regularly at night. This was in the 70’s and just West of Memphis we didn’t have a coyote problem then. The Corinth PD shot a male coyote in front of the Courthouse back in 84’ early on a Sunday morning that I estimated weighed almost 90 pounds. It had been grazing upon small dogs and cats in the city and was well fed. I’ve shot dozens of them on my farm eight miles North of Corinth over the years and before I left they instinctively gave the fields around my home a wide berth as I used a Remington 700 Police Sniper .308 to routinely pick them off around three hundred yards from my back porch. None were as large as the one killed in town. These days stray cats and small dogs are just fare for the coyotes. I did notice the rabbit population has come back though. The people that bought my farm don’t shoot coyotes and have lost chickens, pets, goats, and rabbits...
