Let me know when you have a cite that disputes that. Otherwise, learn to read for content. That is what intrigues me! They are all over the place, and specifically in Calvert county but they somehow have learned to avoid your neighborhood! I'd really like to know how you managed that! Especially when you've stated that you have in your yard things that they love to hunt and eat.... If they "are all over the place," then there would be lots of sightings. I know lots of people in this county, and none of them has ever mentioned seeing a coyote. The land area here is 200+ square miles, not huge, but sizeable. The sites you provided do not indicate a large population of coyotes. That first site you listed showed a 43 pound animal that had just been shot to death by some moron. The article didn't say why the guy shot the animal. What a brave white hunter he is, eh? The last site shows an animal in a field in an adjoining county. The animal looks more like the large foxes we have around here than a coyote, but the photo isn't sharp enough to tell for sure. I think you are once again leaping to unsupportable conclusions from a paucity of facts. No one is denying we have some larger wild mammals in Maryland, and I am sure there are some coyotes and wolves. But we haven't seen any here, and we are prepared to see them, what with time spent outdoors, being surrounded by wooded areas that hold a panoply of critters, and outdoor cameras and lights. I wouldn't mind catching and taming a coyote cub. They're pretty animals and can be trained like dogs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BevRb74GVe8 |

Only feral dogs that travel in packs and attack people. I have made that perfectly clear several times, LoogyScotty. Coyotes usually do not travel in packs, nor are they known for attacking people. Feral dogs out in the forest, on the other hand, are a bit more than just dogs without homes provided by humans. If I saw a coyote in the yard or outskirts and he wasn't acting as if he had rabies, I'd simply wave and let him go about his business. I'd have no reason to interfere with his seeking a meal or getting back to his den. Now, if there were a pack of rabid Tea Party types in the yard, I'd call the sheriff and animal control. |

Actually coyotes attack in packs as well as singularly. Ingle dogs here will take Fifi right off the leash of some dog walker in some areas. Bigger dogs, etc they pack attack. Big problem in Hollywood Hills for pets. |

He bailed out over the rail. I thought about going to go down on K street and look for it but I wasn't sure what I would do if I found it because I was not carrying. I figure it had at least 1 broken leg. (30 feet straight down to the concrete) and needed euthanasia. I figured a homeless guy ate it. But Harry's enclave doesn't permit them to come there.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that what your niece actually saw was a loose, small mixed breed German shepherd. I've seen any number of those that resemble coyotes. Right. They wouldn't be able to cross that river. They must have taken a ferry across the Mississippi. I'll let you know when I see an actual coyote in our back yard. You'll never know, you don't go outside. |
No Coyotes in Calvert County, eh?

In article , says... Kevin was pointing out coyotes are encroaching on suburban areas just about everywhere. You can't prove a negative. Not too smart to say "They're not here." Most of these wild critters are nocturnal, and very careful about avoiding proximity to humans, or being seen by humans. That's how they've survived. So I don't listen to anybody who says "Not in my back yard" when the animal has been proven to be even 500 miles away. We've had two coyotes in a park about a half mile from where I live in Alexandria, VA, and I'm certainly not 'out in the country'. John (Gun Nut) H. -- Hope you're having a great day! |
