RE: Released Coyotes in NY in 1983
He said NY, not PA. Stretch, Im the LAST guy youll find in bed with the DEC, trust me. I respect the COs, but thats about that.
I do recall articles from as early as the 60s of hunters with coyotes they shot in Batavia NY. Some suggest that coyotes once came across the ice from Canucktown. To me it seems like a no-brainer that they moved northeast from where ever, along the Appalachian Trail. The eastern coyote is a super coyote. Its size is bigger then the western animal, and its color phases ( normal brown and grey, silver, blonde, red, black, etc) are so similar to the red wolf, now almost extinct...due to interbreeding with the coyote. Go figure...
