They should ship some of their coyotes up to 'Airree's neck of the
woods sp that he can enjoy them also.

I am sure they are there if they are 40 miles down the road from him.


Is that based upon your scientific knowledge and observation of my
immediate area? While it is possible, I've not seen or heard - in 15+
years here -anything that would indicate the presence of coyotes.

From my house to yours is about 45 miles. I've already mentioned the coyotes in our local park, so
his estimate is not far off.



A quick google search indicates that the coyote population has expanded
state wide in Maryland since first observed in 1972. The fact that
Harry personally hasn't seen one certainly doesn't mean they don't
exist. He says his property abuts heavily wooded land. I am willing to
bet they are out there.

We've had coyotes around here for years and their existence is well
evidenced by the dead wildlife they leave behind. I've only seen one up
close and personal during the daytime and that was several years ago.
However, I've seen their tracts left in the snow and the results of
their "hunting" activities at night twice in the last year.

Coyotes have decimated the deer population in southern Virginia according to a hunter I talked with
down there. They can take down a deer, as they often hunt in packs, but what mostly go after, and
get, are the fawns. Fawns don't stand a chance.
