Coyote sighting

[ColbyBruce]

Coyotes used to outnumber pine cones on our hunting lease but the last six months only a few have been seen or caught on camera. This is the best photo snapped by a camera this morning. A pack is back, hopefully just passing through.

The last few winters up here have been Coyote OK. Based on what I saw and heard from other people we have a large deer population.

Just last night at about 3AM I heard in the distance a Coyote. With a few inches of snow on the ground already, it might be a rough year on the deer!

I did not see this one on camera.. it was just following the trail of the doe I got the day before.. besides we don't have any cameras... lol We can just hear them at night...

I see a few in my area.

I'll hear 'em yapping occasionally late at night, but they really seem to come around during calving and lambing season.

Saw one this morning, it ran across the road and disappeared before I could a (camera) shot.
And if I had used a gun- Sig 365, he would probably yell - it's only a 9mm!

Where's the Roadrunner?

Have had a lot around this fall. Big groups howling and yelling. Several nice ones on game camera. Shot one with bad mange last week about 50 yards from the house.

The little monsters are everywhere. Heard tell they're even in Central P ark in NYC!

Years ago my gun club had a Pa. Game Commission officer speak at our monthly meeting.
He said coyotes are in every county in Pa.
They found a dead female by the Squirrel Hill tunnels which is about a mile from downtown.
I imagine it's only gotten worse.

Looks like it's time -
To Repost the NM Yote Comfort Station.
Kind of a USO for Prairie Prowlers.

Saw this one at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.

One sighting of a coyote here in S. FL and all the ex-patriate northern city slickers go full panic mode.

We have them here in Indiana and I see one from time to time. I rarely hear one at night. (My hearing probably is not good enough for that sort of thing.) I gather they are bold enough to come up into residential areas to prey on small dogs, cats, etc. With that being the case, are there incidents of coyotes threatening or actually attacking humans? Are they only solitary hunters, or do they sometimes hunt in packs? I get a lot of local opinions about coyotes and these two topics.

Seen a few here in my "Burb of the Burgh"...... just 9/10 miles to the "Point" as the crow flies!

Some nights Gracie [30lb Goldendoodle] is tail down looking deep into our 1 acre wooded backyard........clearly not a happy puppy!

Reports of a pack taking down a deer about 200yds from the house last winter. found another dead deer in our backyard two springs ago.... clearly being fed on!

Most of the "Yote" hunters around here, wait until a good freeze,
to thicken up the pelts for sale, before going hunting, for them.

However if they are causing problems, the safeties go "Off".

I busted two, in a pack at a friends house that have been trying to pick off their two small dogs, that live out of city limits, about three years ago.

When my father was working he did some work with a Game Warden from Ill. whose focus was coyotes. In Chicago. Wrote his thesis on the subject. They are very adaptable animals and do well in an urban environment.



P.S. When my dad told me he was working with a Game Warden from Chicago, I asked him, "What animals is he protecting in Chicago? Jimmy the Fish? Tommy the Squirrel? Vinny the Rat?"

Had a coyote attack a little girl in north Colorado Springs by the Air Force Academy. Let's just say that he/she (coyote) is not long for this world as they are hunting it as we speak. Girl thought it was a dog while it crouching by a tree and went up to see it. Didn't work out well for her. Won't work out well for the coyote later.
