Excellent overview of the Eastern Coyote. Most of what we see on many videos are coyote tutorials west of the Mississippi. I live in Northern NJ and began hunting coyote late last season. Coyotes are abundant here in NJ. I'm finding that I have much to learn and that I don't need to keep by learning to just the hunting season. I try to carry my hand calls in my car, and when out hiking I try some calling. Its just good practice. Thank you VT Fish & Wildlife, and FoxPro.
As a dog owner, I could never hunt wild canids like wolves, coyotes, jackals, or foxes. They're simply so similar to Man's Best Friend, and so smart, social, and ecologically important, that taking their lives for any reason other than immediate defense is simply wrong.
they're listed as a nuisance species in my state :) no license needed no bag limits they can be taken anytime, except oddly they cannot be taken "on Sundays by using a weapon" I guess if you ever go hunting coyote on a Sunday you have to do it unarmed 🤷♂️
I had a bobcat kill my small dog and my chickens and turkeys so I finally trapped the culprit!! You know what I did to him?? I relocated him to some beautiful land far far away from houses over 100 miles away. My friend has some nice property. That's what animal lovers do. You kill an animal then you do not care for animals. No getting around that. Cognitive dissonance allows you to kill one and "love" another. Complete bull. Murder is murder and you are disgusting and a waste of oxygen, period.
Here in Maine we have such a large population of black bear that cause far more fawn predation in the spring than coyotes do all year!! We still hunt the yotes but bears need attention too!!
My American friends used to laugh at me when I told them how cautious I am in our bush because of the Coyote's here. Coywolf species are their own breed and differ from wolf to Coyote.
I always wondered why people hated coyotes for hunting deer. Just think about less deer mean less deer related car crashes and it's not like they kill them for the sake of killing them they take what the need
@@justin-db7hw Most American hunters claim they 'don't eat no dawg' & the word vermin normally refers to rodents, lice, fleas , parasitic worms or people perceived as despicable & causing problems for the rest of society.' It's only recently begun to be used by sport hunters to describe any species they have a rabid lust to kill. In order to imply that species has the value of a flea. Hence it's a meaningless term since can be used arbitrarily by anyone to describe another, e.g. some 'bunny huggers' refer to sport-hunter killers as 'vermin.'
The 'respect' part is BS & like saying a psychopathic, cold-blooded,serial killer has 'respect' for his victims. Animals have mates, family members in area, a life they take pleasure in living just like the human animal. And here comes Bubba w/ his expensive gear & zero danger to himself from a defenseless, non-aggressive animal w/ nothing but the skin on it's back, to kill it. Enjoying himself destroying that animal's life jut so can sell it's skin to China for peanuts, not even enough to buy another couple dozen sock & hand warmers. Human psychopaths.
As animals adapt to the human world, nature tries to create a balance. There are not too many coyotes, there are too many deer. Killing coyotes because they kill the deer you want to kill is dumb. And killing a wild dog for self gratification, well that's another thing, unless you eat dog of course, then have at it.
Hunting coyotes is part of conservation. Coyotes have no natural predators. So we need to take action to control the coyote population so we can enjoy harvesting large game and small game yearly like we have for centuries. If u think this is out of place or cruel then go to walmart and buy your meat that grows on trees.
Umm… but there are more coyotes now than there ever were before. And trying that with wolves worked really well cuz now the coyotes in the eastern part of the US are just about half wolves. 😂😂😂
Here in south central PA, we have them all over the place. On our dairy farm near Gettysburg they're very predatory toward the farm cats, and I suspect a few of the missing cats - cats that are not feral but very social - have fallen prey to them.
Rick aka Shock Shockey I'm in western berks county and we also have them everywhere. I've only seen two of them but alot of our critters from around the house are definitely missing lol
Then coyotes help keep the domestic pet population in check, esp. cats which otherwise breed out of control, sharing that trait w/ the humans they mimic because cats & dogs only co-habitat in human occupied areas. You don't find cats living in woods like wildlife. If coyotes kept human population in check too, can you imagine? No more climate change, polluted rivers & streams, oil spill disasters & needing more & more energy sources, so many problems would be ended w/ less need for constant human development for a constantly expanding human population!
“Hidden Instinct” and “Tooth ‘n’ Claw” videos show great hunting trips for Coyotes. An interesting comparison in the never ending “For -v- Against” brigade. I’m a believer in hunting for control and for providing warmth in clothing, as the Indian forefathers did. FoxPro are well known and well used by professionals.
Most hunters today wear warm-lined Cabellas camouflage clothing which wasn't manufactured in the days of the Indian forefathers. Or the days of the caveman if one really longs for the days of the past.
Those coyotes look quite a bit different than the ones here out west. Yours look more like a wolf than a coyote. The eastern ones have a larger muzzle and a less bushy tail than western ones.
@@christineloz1686 not necessarily. Yes, a lion/tiger hybrid aka the “Liger” cannot reproduce. This is a perfect example of “test tube reproduction” - lions and tigers have been illegally bred by humans and would never encounter each other in the wild, one reason being that they inhabit completely different areas of the world. Neither can mules. Wolves, coyotes, and domestic dogs, however, can interbreed and reproduce naturally in the wild. Domestic cats have also bred naturally with small wild cats in Africa and Asia and their offspring are able to reproduce. It depends on the animal species.
@@itsPip15 re read what I stated A hybrid can occur...but that HYBRID cannot reproduce. Only a genetic modified species could reproduce but birth defects are a probability.
There’s no shortage of coyotes. Read about a rancher who killed 700. I’m in a residential area and we’ve got a few as neighbors. I’m wary taking out the trash at night or walking the dogs. But so far, they’ve only been preying on rabbits and such. One ran by the window yesterday with a rabbit in his mouth. He was a good size. I can believe they have some wolf in them.
The funny thing is half those coyotes have either leg lice or mange. You stated loosing its winter coat thats mange. The 2 with the AR laying across them the one has leg lice.
The danger of coywolves is that their behavior is situational. Most of the time they are skiddish and appear harmless, but they can snatch an infant left in a backyard for a moment or kill an adult walking on a trail who can't get away from them or launch a formidable defense. These events are extremely rare because situations like that are extremely rare, not because coywolves aren't dangerous. Like bears, they shouldn't be allowed to live in residential areas.
From what I understand, exterminating coyotes is a lost cause, much like exterminating rats from urban areas or rabbits from suburban lawns. Coyotes are so adaptable and prolific that is just not practical to exterminate them in residential areas. They are in Alaska and all of the lower 48. They're in almost every city in the U.S.; 1,000 or more live in the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Half a million are killed each year in the U.S....and yet they've expanded their range. Kill them in an area, and either new ones move in, or the females left raise more cubs. I do understand your point. I live in an old, densely populated suburb of a mid-Atlantic city, and find it disturbing --as well as fascinating -- to be sharing space with 40-pound part-wolf wild canids. My husband and I have seen and heard them. I've warned neighbors with small pets and young children to be aware of coyotes' presence, and I'm grateful our own dog is medium-sized. So even while being in awe of coyotes' brains and beauty, I am wary of them. But realistically...I'm more likely to be bitten by one of my neighbors' dogs. Or by a tick carrying Lyme, which seems to be (seriously) the most dangerous species of wildlife in my area.
@@wildlifeartistgj North Easter Coyotes ARE Coy-wolves. That is Why they are 10 pounds heavier than Western coyotes and have larger sculls..., but still no where as large as a wolfs skull.
@@marysueeasteregg In the 1600's when Europeans come to North America they killed all (or nearly all) of the Eastern Wolves, East of the Mississippi. Through genetic testing they now know that the South-western coyotes opportunistically spread East and North, once the path was clear since the wolves were gone. This would not have happened if we had not killed nearly all the wolves, since wolves would normally pray on coyotes. The south-eastern coyotes eventually encountered the last of the Eastern Wolves after heading North and bread together, creating the Coywolf (AKA Eastern Coyote). The biggest difference today is coyotes living in the wild, such as Vermont, do not bother people. I lived there for 30 years and you never see them..., only hear them at night. Now I live near Boston and they are a problem. they are too use to people. I actually rent in a large complex outside of the city that accepts pet dogs. We have to be very careful with small dogs. I just spoke to someone who had to run in the road to get her tow very small dogs that she was walking, away for a coy wolf. He was sneaking up behind them very quietly. It is SOOO difference than when I lived in Vermont all those years. Never a problem.
Bit different where I live. There's a retirement community that is seeing more and more coyotes. That worries me. These are not country ppl. They don't have any sense of how these animals work and some are very slow moving.
canus.anus2 Don't they have Cougars up there too? My family lived in Wisconsin and we've seen Cougars around. So I'd assume Mountain Lions would be up in Michigan too.
Those guys should be hunted see how they would like it. It's wrong and they should be locked up! There is no reason for those idiots to hunt coyotes.They are hypocrits they love the coyotes yet they kill them! That is so frustrating! Why take a life.... I would love to see them on the other side ... Being hunted!
Suzanne, you should come out west.... there are so many deer here that we now have disease issues. There is a huge surplus population that needs to be harvested. Also there are so many Snow Geese that the nesting habitat is getting damaged up north. Here in Alberta they've added a spring season with no bag limit! It's all about protecting the habitat. This is much more complicated than you might expect. In almost all cases, it's the habitat that really counts. You will always have sustainable populations if the habitat is protected. Your concern would be better spent worrying about the Salmon populations on the west coast... which are under huge pressure. If you want to see a wild grizzly bear come out and see us here... there are lots of them west of my home!
I don't know if the Arizona fish &game still have this policy but 30 -35 yrs ago I was told they baited , really large fish hooks with meat hanging several around the areas where antelope were berthing , to save the baby's I have read where some people have said , why shoot the coyotes, that just makes them have more young , for me that just makes more to shoot! The truth about # is totally connected to food availability & domestic animals are choice especially cats , so yots come to garbage cans & front porch cats!
R Mintz, other than saying u like to shoot coyotes cause possibly resent them eating an antelope baby denying it growing into an adult sport hunting target & looking to denigrate yotes in the eyes of pet cat owners & admitting they may often be reduced to eating from garbage cans thanks ubiquitous human development, what's your point?
We shoot them every chance that we can get, As they have killed off a lot of Deer Fauns, Rabbits, Woodchucks Even some of the Neighbors Pets, their Dogs & Cats etc.
Human hunters killed 15, 984 Vermont deer in 2017 & Vermont F&W claims 2018 had an abundant hunter 'harvest,' so coyotes who only kill fawns or sick & injured deer for food to survive, obviously had no effect on hunter 'harvest.' And since woodchucks are an unprotected species & only killed by hunters for the fun of having live targets, why would it matter how many woodchucks coyotes killed for food to survive?
Great video with the perspective of the Non Hunter as well as the Hunter. I love Coyotes.
Excellent overview of the Eastern Coyote. Most of what we see on many videos are coyote tutorials west of the Mississippi. I live in Northern NJ and began hunting coyote late last season. Coyotes are abundant here in NJ. I'm finding that I have much to learn and that I don't need to keep by learning to just the hunting season. I try to carry my hand calls in my car, and when out hiking I try some calling. Its just good practice. Thank you VT Fish & Wildlife, and FoxPro.
You kill wildlife you don't eat which makes you a senseless and selfish little man.
As a dog owner, I could never hunt wild canids like wolves, coyotes, jackals, or foxes. They're simply so similar to Man's Best Friend, and so smart, social, and ecologically important, that taking their lives for any reason other than immediate defense is simply wrong.
PlainsPup I couldn’t hunt anything especially them
Until they kill our loved pets. My 8yr old cat, chickens and ducks. Also pet rabbits. They killed my pets. Something we loved.
Until they you're dog or try to eat your family you'll say otherwise

I don’t know how you can “respect” an animal and then hunt it for sport. Respect life.
I've met a bunch of biologists who hunt, though they do it for food. I doubt they shoot "vermin" for no reason.
I respect cows just as much as deer and I eat both...

Is an Eastern Coyote a hybrid of a Coywolf and a domestic dog?
Most are about 30% wolf with some admixture from dogs.
I understand this successful hybridization (ability to breed) was a testube GMO. Hybrids traditionally cannot reproduce.

Coyotes are Gods own Dog, and when it comes to the predation of Deer , for those who act as if they own the Deer what a ego.
I don't know about you guys, but I take a pleasure in that coyotes don't scream Allahu Akbar just before they kill.
Lmao
💕
There really invasive where I live and hard on other populations where I live... currently
But, why do you need to hunt these wild dogs?? What is the "thrill" or "sport" to that??..

Coyotes gotta deal with Predator type shit out in the wild from the hunters 🤣🤣
U can't have all hunters in the woods its safety with it
Plus to many humans and houses around
This video has an obvious bias. Would prefer to hear from both sides.
Largest predation of fawns in upper mi is coyotes ,bobcat,black bears ,wolves in that order and they will kill HEALTHY deer
canus.anus2 Don't they have Cougars up there too? My family lived in Wisconsin and we've seen Cougars around. So I'd assume Mountain Lions would be up in Michigan too.
This is about Vermont coyotes who dont kill healthy deer since fawns or sick & injured deer are easier prey for coyotes.
The first coyote on screen was not shedding but appeared to be mangy.
The best way to get them to come in to Hunt them, Is to put out Meat Bait Stations , etc.
That is the way of a cowardly, lazy , opportunistic assholes!
Betcha if u had to scrounge for sustenance & somebody offered free meat balls you'd be the dumbest sitting duck that ever lived! And died.
Horrible they’re killing them, to them it’s a sport
I hate trophy hunters so F-ing much.
school project!
I am sorry hunting these animals is disgusting 🤮 - it’s idiotic and merciless slaughter of a beautiful animal.
A species very close to coyote is man's best friend. How do we make the switch to want to kill the coyote for our pleasure?
