Coyote trouble.

Coyotes are all over but they seem to be getting a bit too close for comfort. I have heard them yelping close by the past couple of weeks, this morning at 5am I let my 3 dogs out as I do every day. About 10 feet off the deck they froze and began to growl, when I opened the door they quickly retreated to the door, then the yelping began. The back house spotlight was on and I could make out 3 pairs of eyes not 50 yards from my house. By the time the 12 gauge was out they had retreated. Too close for comfort. Yesterday about 20 miles from here a 4 month old puppy was attacked and killed in broad daylight by a coyote. They sure seem to be over populated up here in the Northeast.

Coyote Hunting Seasons in NY
You are no longer required to pelt seal a coyote or report a coyote harvest.

They got about 15 of my neighbors sheep, cows and goats. They killed a few of the coyotes. On full moons they are everywhere, all you hear are yelping, howling, animals shrieking and gun shots. I was lucky when I had sheep, good fencing and secure buildings kept them out. Out in the fields they will walk by us a 150 feet away in broad daylight.

Heck we have em here in the big city.
I saw one with a bad limp on my way to work one day in the YMCA field. Called DEM and went to see if I could see where it went. The woman at the business nearby said it was around and didn't bother anyone and was very indignant that I would have called the authorities on the animal (they would kill it, she said). I think the parents of the youngsters at the Y daycare would think differently about a coyote in the same field their children play in. Two days later I saw it walking (limping) along a busy road in the daylight.
In Maine there is no season and you can shoot em at night.
