Where is this?
Coyote can be shot every day of the year with no bag limits. From Oct. to April they can be hunted day and night.
6:50, Eastern Shore. I had some on my property in Willards as well. They are no longer there.
More illegal immigration.
Wait, can we teach them to hunger for Islamic extremists?
On a serious note, seems the lower shore ground hog population has grown 10 fold recently, the coyotes are opportunistic
Hunters and prey is plentiful here. They are part of the process but need to be kept in check.
had a friend catch one in a trap @ 12 years ago near linkwood.
they have been on the shore for a while
Why would you kill a native species that primarily eats rodents, snakes and birds? People move from the city to escape city life then want to kill all the wildlife in the country because the are scary. The best is the idiots that move to places like doc run or deer harbor and complain about fox and deer.
I'm one of the idiots in Deer Harbour and I think that they're pretty cool wandering around. Darn near tame too. One of their trails goes right thru our yard down to the water. They often jump out of nowhere on my early morning walks.
No foxes in here, you must be thinking of Fox Chase :)
Seen one full grown redden rd Georgetown last year
Exactly 8:13! We've seen them in Bishopville and would never think to destroy them. They are a part of the food chain and destroying them only causes more problems.
Because they will attack and kill your children and animals.
They were brought here by the Natural Resource people just like the turkeys were but I believe they brought the coyotes here to help cut down on the deer population. But like many government controlled projects it doesn't seem to be working.
They are in Westover I have spotted them and so have others. They exist for a reason it is as nature should be we need predators to keep a balance. After all we have run them out of a lot of their natural habitats. I would venture to say unless you corner them they are as scared of us as we are of them, if you live in these areas you should already be keeping an eye or your children & your pets.
There's a better chance of another human attacking and killing your children and animals 9:47. Don't be so silly. I've also seen them in Bishopville, not often but when it's a dry hot summer they come to our pond to drink. We have free roaming foul and pet ducks and geese and not ever have lost one to a coyote or other predator for that matter. Freak things happen but if you are diligent in protection your children and animals you are more often than not okay.
everybody loves coyotes until they drag a kid into the woods.
people are so stupid.
but, but, but, they are part of the food chain....
so are young kids

Nobody needs to "let wild dogs over populate".
They are wild.
They will "populate" as they see fit.
Unless someone like you makes an effort to exterminate them.
I saw them growing up on the west side of Salisbury near jersey rd. We called them wild dogs, lol
I have hunted out west quite a bit where coyote numbers are high and you rarely see one. You can hear them on the hillsides at sundown barking and howling. They are very careful, skittish animals.
Do they not have the same temperament as a fox?? Meaning, they aren't scared of humans and will run away?
The coyotes spread eastward by themselves. They were not introduced by the DNR.
You are confusing coyotes and dingoes. Dingoes eat babies
Coyotes have been on the Shore since before people. Their population is self-limiting. The last person killed by a coyote was in 1980, outside of L.A., which was almost 40 years ago.
They have high numbers and are rarely seen you say. We have low numbers and are often seen. So maybe ours are are little less afraid than those.
5:23 You are wrong we never had coyotes on the eastern shore until they were brought here and released by Maryland Natural Resources.
Let them do their jobs !
Every state with the exception of Hawaii has coyotes. The Eastern Shore's came south from Pennsylvania, through Delaware, and from Western Maryland, just like the groundhogs did on the Shore. DNR never stocked coyote to the Eastern Shore or any of Maryland; they only put regulatory practices in place, e.g., trapping and hunting laws.
Are those the guys that are sneaking illegals into the country ?
So did those yotes come across the bridge or run the tunnel? Odds of them coming threw Del and all those metropolitan towns....slim!
Yotes started appearing when all the other transplants were happening also...turkeys, beaver, groundhogs, bobcats, bear, ect.....once the turkeys were successful...they went stupid with big ideas....you will not keep yotes in check on the shore, the terrain is thick...not like out west wide open{they cant even keep them in check there either}
339, I'm sure "Yotes" can swim across a river or two.
