Coyotes in St. Mary's?

[J and M]

About two weeks ago I saw what I thought was a really tall, skinny, mangey looking fox creeping around our mares field. I told my husband it looked too tall to be a fox. We have tons of fox on the farm, but this thing was different. I am concerned about the horses if there are coyotes hanging around.

I tried to get a picture of it with my cell but it didn't come out. I saw it a few times but haven't seen in in the last week. I've been carrying my camera with me so I can snap it if it shows up again. Perhaps I should carry something else as well

Good Lord folks....calm down...

Coyotes are confirmed to be in every county in Maryland now. A reliable source told me that they were re-introduced by DNR, to all areas of the state, to help control the deer population. I have seen three, or the same one three times, in the Radio Station Road area in La Plata.

Doubtful. If they want to thin the deer population just lengthen the hunting season and increase the limits. This way they control whether a buck or doe is killed.

Drop the camera and start carry something like this.

How do you know they were killed by yotes?

My friend works for DNR and told us last week, because we all have goats. The livestock killed were goats.

And allow hunting on Sunday. Every Sunday.

Now if we can only get a picture of a mountain lion so DNR will finally acknowledge they are here too - I bet the coyotes have been around for many years like the mountain lions. Now the mountain lions are what I worry about at night - they have plenty of deer to keep them busy but I don't want to become a snack that happens to stroll by a hungry one.

Coyotes aren't much of a problem, its those dang cougars.

Ridge, off Wynn road.

Have seen them on Webster Field a couple of times back in May. Have not seen it since.

Shoot them when you see it again...

Saw one in Dameron last week. Haven't seen it since.

You can spot coyotes, because they walk upright on two legs, and often have an Acme rocket strapped to their bodies somewhere.
And they hold up little signs to talk to you.

Super Genius.. right there... super genius...

Okay, no more little dog allowed off her leash. As if the ospreys and eagles aren't bad enough.

I have seen quite a few coyotes in my time, but I don't believe this is one.I think it is just a dog.

One of my trail cameras snagged a picture of what I thought was a coyote, but was not 100% sure. I sent the picture to a friend at DNR and he confirmed that it is indeed a yote and said that the population in St. Mary's has been on the rise for the last two-three years.

Okay, I'm sure you're right because I'm sure that the folks who do this type of stuff for a living have no flippin idea what they are talking about.

That don't look like no coyote I ever saw.

Where's the moving van crammed full of illegal aliens?

 

[BOP]

Ah, the illegal aliens. I moved here from the West, so I am used to being awaken up by their partying in the middle of the night. When a pack catches some nugget of prey (like a hot little mamacita) where I used to live, the screaming of the yipping/barking was unbelievable. It's hard to explain but it sounds very unpleasant and unnerving.
That being said, I have read an article (somewhere?) that mentioned illegal aliens are now in EVERY state in the US. I've heard of them growing dope in Central Park, even. It's crazy.
Typically, they have great fear of law enforcement, and will just drive off at high speed. In the west, they are skinny and I've seen them running across major freeways in the middle of the day. But that was out west where there are more "gangbangers"...my kid's school once had lockdown because of guns on the playground. Don't even get me started on the bikers...exconvicts, etc.
Interesting, though about the illegal aliens here in the local area. Definitely do not feed, do not approach and be aware of your small pets.

Law enforcement's unofficial motto: "We don't know what to do about the problem, so we'll refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem."

I would assume that there have been relatively few human encounters or the MD DNR would have been forced to deal with that reality.

The Mountain LIon we saw just walked right on by as if no one was there - totally ignoring humans - obviously it was on a mission to keep moving to cover its territory. We saw what looked like the same one a couple years later walking the SAME path ..... they are creatures of habit I hear.

I have spoken to other people who have also seen the black ones in So. MD, so I'm sure the researchers will be thrilled when they get a chance to have the DNA checked on one.

J's house in Pa is in the mountains and I am very afraid to walk Whispur and Mouse after dark there. We get them right in the yard. We have had them come near when putting hay in the horse fields at night and after dark almost any day you will hear them celebrating a kill...makes me very nervous.

It's DNR being talked about - of course they know not what they are doing!

Thanks for the morning chuckle. Seriously though, our neighbors lost their dog to a coyote in Washington State; they let him out into a fenced in yard to do his business, went out 3 minutes later and the little yorkie was in the coyote's mouth. The coyote ran away as they watched in horror.

Wonder how long it will be before we have some coydogs around here.....

Dunno, how big a slut is your dog?

THE CHUPACABRA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i seen that vermin YouTube - El Chupacabra

I was in Arizona over the weekend. Two of my relatives swore they saw this beast early one morning while driving to work. They said it was able to run as fast as they could drive. It was still early in the evening when they told this story - no alcohol involved yet!

2 coyote attacks in 1 hour in NYC suburb; tot hurt - Yahoo! News

Authorities say a coyote lunged at the teen boy shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday in Rye Brook. About an hour later, the 2-year-old girl was attacked near her home about two miles away.

In June, the town of Rye — about 3 miles from Rye Brook — had two coyote attacks within four days.

A 3-year-old girl playing in her backyard was jumped from behind by a coyote, and a 6-year-old girl was mauled by two coyotes.

After those attacks, authorities in Rye urged parents to keep their kids inside on summer evenings.
