Coyote Comeback

But I want to just talk about. About it it's boring and it's it's that time of the year coyotes back in the yeah. Back in the first. Coyote attacks once rare happening all over massachusetts' population to reach 101000 by summer. And that's pretty low is an attempt thousands got to be a lot more than 101000 coyotes in the in the state. But dimensional the other New England states. Boston high school student -- arbor and took his dog for a walk down a dirt trail in late February in a coyote attack them. I didn't have time to square off with that -- and so I went for my knife but it was already in the year in my neck. Coyote attacks on humans are considered rare but they can be vicious when they happen like the -- on a two year old girl's head in -- Or on nine year old Alex -- -- and -- I thought it was a dog cast may said that's why Pope might that's why I put my hand up and it bit me. Often it's the smaller animals like rabbits running into trouble when it's a one on one fight. In farmer Tyler Campbell's case a pack of coyotes made a meal out of this 12100 dollar buffalo. When I see a coyote I'm going to shoot him Kimball said each of these stories happen in the last year in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. Then there was a wild run at the Ted Williams Tunnel a coyote on the loose scampered through the big day in the amazing and on in the Big Dig. I can see it against in Europe there wooded areas in the Weymouth there April but the big big. It seems like they're showing if it seems like they're showing up everywhere these days it's because they are. Even if you haven't seen coyotes in your area it's best to assume that they could be in your yard said -- Connolly of the Massachusetts division of fisheries and wildlife. Wildlife biologists estimate that the summer population in Massachusetts will hold steady at about 101000 including their pops. Coyotes say -- says more coyote show up in eastern mass because there's so much to eat in the suburbs. But not ready my politics I tell you like I'm concerned by even I have offense I've offense are from my yard cut like our pool. It's a pretty good fence but still you know when that when I put the dogs -- at night did so the ability to do their business before Barack lights out. I -- -- -- keep a close eye on just in case a key just in case some coyote digs through you know -- at the end of that you know little blog like not I I don't think most dogs even a big dog he would. You -- Golden Retriever Labrador what do much of a shot against a key podium coyotes are wild animals concern -- -- Domesticated. Yet now they face they just don't have the killer instinct and many more in their also not hungry. 187. Q coyotes are very territorial especially in the late -- months dogs and in rare cases small children can be confused as competition or pray. If people see coyotes it's important to harass them never ever feed them wrong man to have the been saying that -- mean that's. I get should do condition do I guess everybody you know GeMS like -- Kidd said he thought it was a dog. Biologists suggest making a lot of noise to scare the problem. -- a lot of noise this way but my gun sound effect -- by shotgun sound effect. Or if it's too -- as it was for -- to our depend fight back. He kept jumping in my throat so I kept hitting it right in the key part of that said. That makes a lot of noise doesn't it. So here's a story this is from the union leader today. New Hampshire Manchester. Dead coyote discovered Friday afternoon in the backyard of a Morse road residents tested positive for rabies. It was found in the same neighborhood where their about a half dozen sightings of any animal exhibiting no unusual behavior over the past ten days. Coyote you the coyote confronted dogs on Morse road Wall Street and attacked for cocker spaniel when its own backyard on Morse road. There are reports of a coyote nibbling the door handle of alleged would retirement community maintenance man's vehicle and jumping on top of a car stop the alleged which street. There's another story this the same story probably just earlier version coyote on the prowl upsets neighbors in Manchester. 18774694322. Do you have a way of you watching it you have a problem -- in your neighborhood do you want. I think I even though I used to see -- -- more rise in a couple of years ago and in my neighborhood Wellesley though I have lately I usually get up around. Sunrise you know -- the dogs out and turn on the coffee and I used to see -- is she the coyotes while morrow walked around outside the street on not not -- not inside the fenced in area obviously but. Outside I haven't seen any lately and I'm pretty happy about that but I know I know there are around. 18 sevenths I think it's I -- I almost forget rather humorous you all these people that voted against likely know they did back in the 96 you know well. They had a they had the ban on wait hold traps it was a there was a referendum question on the statewide ballot. And it passed overwhelmingly only you know only one county Berkshire County witches you know host the -- the most world county in the state the westernmost county of the state. The seacoast county is Liz Warren would say. Only Berkshire County voted against it so you know so you know Michael traps one way of keep in the coyote population down but hold no one wanted to -- big catch port dogs in there. So shall -- -- -- not it's in the suburbs all these moon bats voted against. 42 BM -- traps. And guess why it. Now political traps are catching Fido but guess who's catching final Wylie coyote it's catching -- now. One I think I think what I think wily coyote is killing a lot more dogs in the -- traps -- dead. 1877469432218774694322. Barbara you're you're next with how we cargo -- Barbara. We howry.

And that we about the DEP. And they took him out there were -- car. Fancy cars and the state everybody got stuff that -- is that fancy card that came in eight states that the coyote way and we never heard from them again. You're kidding me they were trivial like it was a mastodon something right there I mean they didn't they didn't don't think they deliberately really didn't truly didn't realize that all these New England states are overrun with coyotes now. All they do acknowledge they didn't I never talked to a again after that edge and you know we have to.

Up population may be not the majority of people for the last stop hunger 200 years but though we did have farmers and a the farmers were gonna stand for having their animals killed so they wiped out the coyote and they wiped out the the I guess of wolves were -- and foxes are more indigenous but you know the thing is that. Coyotes are tougher than Fox's and -- guy whose idea who who likes to take while -- pictures and he would use to take these great pictures of us in a cemetery. Of this. Of this -- this.
