RE: N.J. COYOTES !
I live in zone 5 and hunt both zone 5 and zone 6 on a private farm. We are loaded with Coyotes up this way. Last year I shot a Buck during firearms and had to pick up the trail the next morning. By the time we got to it the hind quarters were gone and the stomach opened up. Some of these Coyotes are very big near the 70 - 100 pound range.
But we have more problems with all the Bear on the property not the Coyotes.
