Coyote

My cousing lives in Ridley Creek State Park, lives right across from the falls, and has conversations with the Park Rangers. Recently went there for my Aunt's 85th. Among all the talk amd commotion of this celebration, the issue of wildlife emerged. Turns out she has seen coyotes multiple times right out her door. Just to be sure I asked questions regarding ID, body comfirmation, and such. She informed me that the Rangers told her the PGC has planted coyotes in the park for deer control. Now this woman would know- she is savvy to hunting, grew up with father hunter and fellow bamboo flyrod fan, and hunted in her youth . And I may take her up on an invatation to evening porch sitting, may hear a song or two.

She informed me that the Rangers told her the PGC has planted coyotes in the park for deer control.

For once i would like to see this in writing somewhere. Is it an urban (or rural) legend?

[RUSS0079]

The PGC did not plant coyote's anywhere. They been moving south for years, thats why they are in CapeMay County. They don't stay out of occupied areas. We have them in Valley Forge, outside the park.... The warden for Chester County did tell me though that pretty soon, they are going to open seasons on wildboar from the preserves that have gotten out.. They all ready have confirmed cases of piglets running in the gamelands... Here Piggy Piggy!!!!!!!!!!

LOL loved that post! I can say much for Philadelphia Co., Delaware Co., or S. Jersey, but I know they are here in N. Bucks Co. I found tracks on one of my turkey spots this past May. And trust me I know coyote track and have had experience with them. Here's a 38lbs, female, red-phase (rare coloration) I got in my trap line for coyotes this past January in SW PA where I was going to college. i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr328/Acacian_190/SANY0020.jpg

The trap is just out of the camra's range plus it's a pritty cool pic with her just laying there.

Nice blondey man:thup: What co. out west? North bucks is loaded with them we got 4 out of the proberty i hunt up there last year.

[RUSS0079]

WOW, what a pretty Coyote!!! I shot a marbled one some years back in Rickett's Glen, but she had the mange.. So I got a half mount done of her... But as far as the Mountain Lions are concerned, the guys in Sullivan County may know.. I've come across tracks in Game Lands 57.. And yes I know what a mountain lion track looks like... I had them all around me in the service in the Angelis National Forest in California.... Cut the track and went the other way.. I've seen what they do to folk's faces... I may be ugly but not that ugly!!!

[bigolebuck]

There are tons of coyotes are here in south jersey along with black bear! They breed like roaches. Kill them all

[onthehunt]

Plenty of them in atlantic county. Had a pup follow me to my bowstand one morning last year. Scared the hell out of me. I didn't know what it was at first till I put the light on when I heard it walking behind me. Blair Witch Project going through my head:nuts:

[ACEarcher]

-Chum Stains,

Yeah she was a nice one. Trapped her in Washington County. I just graduated from California University of Pennsylvania. That was taken off of an old farm that wasen't farmed anymore that was very close to my college. 3 weeks before I got her I saw her running around with a very dark brown male almost black. No kidding he was around 50lbs maybe+!!! Never got him, but I had that trap right on a marking post. I found a tuff of grass that that male was marking (like a firehydrent) his territory on. I'm pritty new to trapping and was kind of learning as I go and let me tell you I probably had that male on several times and lost him. But I got his g/f!!!!!!

Chum stains, where abouts in Bucks you've been getting them (hunting,trapping?) I'm not trying to get in on your spot, but just this past turkey season I found coyote tracks at one of my spots here in Bucks Co.. I know their yote tracks and this place that I found them it is very big, many acres, and their are many places for them to hide. I was just wondering if you might be going close to me?

[black talon]

i live and hunt in n.bucks co. lots of yotes around in many areas. Bendminster, Ottsville, Kintnersville, Haycock,Springfield.
the best way to tell if they are yote tracks is too check the two inner toe nails. if they are pointed stright forward its a dog, but if they point IN at each other its a yote

That's a scary thought... I would be spooked all morning until daybreak...

killer shot man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RUSS0079]

I bet that "old blondy" didn't feel a thing!!! Lead seems to do that to the brain, when its moving very fast:D

[ganggreen]

Hey George,
Was the chupacabre behind bigfoot, lol.

[ACEarcher]

Yeah a .22 will do that to ya. I wonder what was the last thing that went through her head besides that bullet. "Oh S**T"!! LOL

[WoodsHunter]

Just curious...
How can anyone tell the difference between a coyote foot print and a dog foot print. :huh: By the way got a nice coyote in Tioga Co. two years ago, .243 at about 200+yds., weather a little on the warm side so I rush it over to the taxadermist not to spoil. Get back to where I shot it and there was a bigger one within a 100yds. from where I took the first one. They are hurting the turkey/deer in the area.

[massbaster]

Dunno the exact way to tell but look t this picture....

[ACEarcher]

What I learned in my wildlife management techiques class was the coyote tracks the toes are bunched together. When looking at the dog tracks the toes are spaced out evenly. If you saw those to different tacks in the snow you could see the difference. I might have a couple of yote track pics I gotta check. Also, I forgot sometimes not all the time the two front toes. Notice the coyote print pic. The two front toes point inward. Dogs tracks will not. Although, I will edmit with large coyotes this doesn't always hold true. Just from my experience. I'll try checking my pics to see if I have any good examples for ya.

[ACEarcher]

Forgot! This is another way I learned the coyote track in that class. Take your fingers and try to group them up as tight as possible then look down at your fingers. see how they are all bunched up together close. Thumb being the biggest pad and each other finger representing a toe.

[WoodsHunter]

The reason I asked if you can tell the difference I usually see coyote/dog tracks when hunting in snow, they just look like a paw print. About three years ago me and my wife were staying at a hotel/motel outside Wellsboro Pa. The place was animal friendly and I had both of my retrivers there with me. One day it was raining and I had to let the boy's out to take care of busines. The parking lot at the motel is cinder & dirt mix. The next night wife & myself go to the bar where we are staying, people who were staying there were all concern because they had thought there were coyotes that came down to the motel at night and were sniffing around. No one there knew that I had both of the retrivers there. Because I knew it was the paw prints from my dogs I played into them at the bar, pissing off the wife I was saying do you think the will come down during the day, how many do you think are in the pack, etc, etc. After several dirty looks from the wife I stopped. Next morning you see the people coming out with there coffee looking around asking if any one seen anything, it was great. Told my wife, watch, there are two coyotes here in our room, Buddy & Nate... :huh:

we have a ton of coyote here in one of the ares i hunt.I have seen as many as 15 to a pack all different colors.Just before dark at times u can see them yipping in the field.What a cool experience.Shot a good doe a few years ago and pretty lousy shot so decided to go back in morn to go retrieve her and she was torn to shreds:thdown: So my plan from that point on was to shoot all of them!!!!!!!But unfortunately they never come in bow range.Ive seen an all black one that I would love to drive my broadhead through!!!!!One of these days hope to get one

[XFLOPZ]

Whom ever said they are in Cape May County, NJ they are 100% right. I even saw one with my own two eyes running the the streets of North Wildood. No ********!!!!!!!!!! Throughout this county, they are all over the place.....

[ub1243]

Whom ever said they are in Cape May County, NJ they are 100% right

i know of a few guys that trap them down there.
and a friend of mine drives down there to call at night during that late season.
they are here to stay. we will lose our red fox in 5 years. they don't live together peacefully. name one place were the coyotes were eliminated, none. they have poisened them, shot from helicoptors, trapped, called in, they never go away once they arive. most people don't even know they are here.
same with bears. they are in south jersey, but people don't believe they are here.

[Nitrous SwampRat]

If someone wants help in removing some yotes (after the deer seasons) i'd be more than willing to help hunt them.
I tracked some in zone 23 late last season but never saw them. Heard em'...never got within range.

[hunter]

seen an all white one the size of a german shepard thankgiving night

[RUSS0079]

I know this, if one makes the same mistake as my first did, I'll have another fullmount on my wall. They are a pain in the A--, but if you have ever seen one in the wild, moving fast and not making a noise, it is something to behold. I admire them for a min, then I put a 150 grain Barnes through its chest. We got to keep hunting and killing them. They do make a pretty mount.

[hunter]

[stiks]
