I'll say that the attack on that young woman up in Canada was very much an exception to the norm. I can seem them going after pets and even young children or adults (who are injured or otherwise vulnerable). But going after a full grown, healthy adult like that took a lot of people by surprise. It's a grim reminder that these animals are predators, and if they see a good opportunity, they'll take it.Last edited by Bounder45; 03-20-2017, 01:48 PM.

Keep in mind there are millions of people and pets in North America and millions of coyotes. Conflicts while relatively few are inevitable.Izaak Walton a great writer? He can't even spell COMPLETE.

It can be very demanding at times, and if you don't know what you're doing, or the dogs aren't well-trained, the coyotes will run circles around you for hours before escaping into an off-limits block of woods or property. Heck, there are many times when we have all our ducks in a row and the coyote still gets the upper hand on us.
Hhmmm...maybe you need to invite me up to your neck of the woods so I can experience for myself some easy coyote hunts.
Some concession roads are drivable by vehicle in winter some are not and were travelled by foot, ATV or snowmobile. We'd place hunters on concessions ahead of the race and use radio to communicate with the guys at the back of the race.Izaak Walton a great writer? He can't even spell COMPLETE.

It's a few urban coyotes that become habituated towards humans that are the problem.

Originally posted by Gman View PostWe didn't hunt coyotes in the woods. We hunted them in open country. The countryside here is divided into concessions roads.

Originally posted by bioguide View PostHe discusses the coyotes resiliency despite decades of private and government attempts to eradicate them and how these attempts may have actually aided them in their migration across america. While not exactly elaborating on the Eastern Coyote the book, IMO, does provide interesting discussion on the why we have coyote's in the Northeast.
I'd say if one wants to learn about wild canines whether you like them or hate them or fall somewhere inbetween, read this book.
