I spoke to a forest ranger from the Pocomoke State forest several years about this. He had a Coyote that had been hit outside of Shad Landing state park. He told me Coyotes were extinct on the shore until recently. He told me they have migrated here from Cecil County. I know that are a danger to small animals and for farmers who have chickens.
There have not been coyotes in Wicomico until the last several years. They were brought in the shore by DNR to help fight the population growth of Nutria. Keep your pets inside , in a fence or on a leash. Your pets are easy meals for these animals
They've been here on the shore for quite some time now. They are not new. Ask any trapper. They've been hunting them for years. Just because they are seldom seen (they're nocturnal), doesn't mean they are not here.
And tell me how the snakeheads made it into a Worcester County Pond less than 4 years after the first ones were reported from that pond on the Western Shore.

ReplyDeleteThe DNR did not bring them here. They have been spreading their range eastward for decades.
DeleteI think I read some place that our coytes are a cross between the eastern coytee and the eastern red wolf.
ReplyDeleteDNR did not bring them. Who started that rumor?
ReplyDeleteJust like they didnt introduce Frag or nutria right?
