Title: Got coyotes?
Post by: chadmil on July 03, 2016, 09:38:47 AM: Not in Washington, but thought I'd share this pic I got on one of my cameras. I've never seen this many coyotes at once! This is in a suburban 140 acre Woodlot in PA.

There was never any when I was growing up but when I was back this spring I seen 3 of them ..my best chance at filling my turkey tag was rudely interrupted by a coyote stalking up behind my decoy as the gobbler was coming to us .. We had him in the bag we thought ..He was gobbling at everything we threw at him and then Silence and then the coyote !!! Used to be a lot of foxes back in PA but I think the coyotes are going to take over ..Pretty sad ..I would rather have foxes around rather than coyotes !

He told me back in the late 80's early 90's-ish...he went to Pennsylvania to trade some of our coyotes for some eastern turkeys.
He said as they sat in the back of a truck in PA with a bunch of cages of eastern Washington trapped yodel dogs, he asked the PA biologist," you sure you want these dogs in your state?"
The PA biologist asked in return ," you sure you want these birds in yours?"

Post by: nwwanderer on July 21, 2016, 07:02:14 PM: We shipped coyotes to the east coast? Anyone ever research that to know which public servant arranged that? Kinda hard to type while shaking my head.
On another note, how many pups to you think Huntersofwashington's coyote had and what the heck is she watching in that tree?
