RE: Released Coyotes in NY in 1983
To answer fight4yourguns, its very simple, actually. Because it costs money...your money. When they trap and transfered turkeys decades ago, we all knew when, where, how and at what cost. Same with snowshoe hares in western NY, bald eagle hacking, the ill-fated lynx restoration project, the laughable otter program in western NY, the peregrine falcon program in all the major cities here, bluepike in Erie, numerous plant programs, to name a few. The turkey, peregrineand eagle programs are some of the most successful on record, a feather in the cap of conservation efforts. Other programs were not so successful, but equally as public. So, evidently, perhaps some of us do indeed have a clue, to use your words. I get the feeling the point you are actually trying to make is, we in here sometimes sound like know-it-alls and at the same time naysay every possible statement. But in this case anyway, thats not so.
