That coyote looked like he was feeding himself well enough. If they like a combo of woods, wetlands and fields, then they should thrive well in Southern Maryland.

Question though, if they will take down a deer, does that mean they will take down livestock or pets?

I can not believe how upset some people seem over him shooting it in the comments. Maybe it does not bother me because where my hubbys family is from they have alot of them. When we are at our house down there I will not allow the kids out after dark because there are so many.

The coyote was probably a nice youngster well on his way to gettin'
his life back together.

We have them here, I saw one running through my neighborhood with a broken leg. I know two people who have had issues, one woman had her small dog ripped out of her arms by one and another woman lost her cat when a coyote chewed through her screened porch. They are a pain, and they multiply like rabbits.

Maybe the coyote will keep the wild boar population down.

I think I would much prefer wild boar to coyotes, They taste better.
