In 2022, the officials of Nahant, Massachusetts, started noticing they had a coyote problem. The coyotes had become so disdainful of people they had snatched, killed and eaten three pets directly from leashes. Numerous other pets were killed and eaten. No one knows precisely how many. From December 15, 2022, abcnews.go.com:
Local officials said eight to 12 coyotes inhabit Nahant, a densely settled town of about 3,300 people on a peninsula about 15 miles north of Boston. The animals have killed pets, including three that were taken straight from leashes held by their owners, said Antonio Barletta, the town administrator.
Coyote populations are on the rise all over the country. They are causing problems, killing pets and livestock and even attacking the occasional person, from California to Texas to now Massachusetts. Several coyote attacks against people prompted a program to reduce the coyote population in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Nahant town officials decided they needed to reduce the coyote population. They decided to hire federal agents from the Department of Agriculture. From cbsnews.com:
The town of Nahant will become the first community in Massachusetts to bring in trained marksmen to shoot and kill habituated coyotes. Town officials voted Wednesday night to enter into an agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture.
“We have risen to a level of public safety threat in the town,” said resident Vivien Gere who lost her dog Snoopy to an aggressive coyote back in June. “I had him on a short leash and the coyote just took him off the leash and slaughtered him and ran off with him right in front of me.”

Turns out that they are a hybrid between a coyote and a wolf, and they developed from cross-breeding that occurred as western coyotes migrated across Ontario into the northeastern U.S. The hybrid animal is larger than a coyote and has characteristics of both strains of predatory dog: the wily nature of a coyote combined with the “pack” social model of wolves. Coyotes are solitary animals by nature, but the coyote-wolf hybrid is not.
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!
I used to be a deer hunter, but have switched to hunting coyotes. I have a cattle lease with a neighbor and the coyotes harass the calves. Best time to bust a coyote is dusk.
CoyWOLF is what they are known as. They are Coyotes that have mated with Wolves. Here is a story explaining what has happened in the NE:

This means they are all part of one very successful, highly diverse species.
Coyotes are just small wolves.
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.
Coyotes gotta eat too.
= = =
First they eat up the native foxes.
Then the feral cats.
Then the rat population increases.
Then pet cats and dogs.
Nope. I got tired of losing chickens, the neighbors lost cat after cat so I went to the pig slaughterhouse and bought a head. I threaded a steel cable through the natural openings and cinched it tight with a couple of cable clamps.
I found the perfect tree close to their preferred spot of entry and hung that head high enough they had to jump for it slightly, that way they would make noise alerting me to their presence, if I wasn’t watching.
After about 3 days that head was aging to coyote perfection when the first 5 showed up. I was waiting with my muffled .300 Blackout. Knocked 3 down before the others realized what was happening and ran off.
I ended up taking out 11 in less than 4 days. We didn’t have a coyote problem again. We did see one or two a year several years later but the dogs chased them away. They had gotten completely out of balance due to lack of predation and easy pickin’s like you mentioned.
There is more than eight to twelve.
New York Times has video of three at just one house nightly.
Local officials said eight to 12 coyotes inhabit Nahant...
There should be greater concern about the liberal infestation.
There are coyotes on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay. I’ve seen them, up close. Supposedly they swam there.
A lot of coyotes in on the Mexican border. (Ba dum)
Local ‘officials’ are pretty brave to even suggest shooting them.
Vocal coyote lovers don’t want that.
So I suspect an deliberate under estimate.
Less people with guns in that part of Massachusetts too. This helps the coyotes to breed rapidly.
I imagine it’s a word the globalists use to refer to us.
PUT out a bounty-—
Let AMERICANS use guns & ammo !!!!!
Paws & ears==bounty.
GREAT PYRANEESE dogs will run down & kill coyotes.
