RE: N.J. COYOTES !
Yeah we got em in Hamilton twp, Bordentown twp.and the Yardville/Groveville area of Mercer county. I hear them all the time in the local wood lot near my house. One time I heard them while talking to a naighbors wife outside and when I said SHHHHH do you hear that? She said what? and I said the coyotes, she laughed and said thats a bunch of dogs barking! We don't have THOSE types of wild animals around here.Freakin clueless city dwellers.When there are deer hit around here on some of the country roads ifyou keep driving by in the wee hours of the morningevery now and again you willspot one. Even one ofmydumb ass huntingbuddies saw one over a deer carcass on the roadand he shouted WOW! did you see the size of the silver fox? I swear i wanted to open the door and kick him out? I said when was the last time you saw a 50 pound foxtugging a 80 pound doe off the road? We lost 2 dear in Pennington to them stinking things 3 years ago.I remenber not that long ago the F&W dept wanted you to phone in and report if you saw one. What a joke.A friend of mine who moved out West and knows the problems these vermin causesaid 10 years agowait and see with our (NJ)deer numbers we will be over run with them in 20 years. I remember you needed a permit to hunt them during reg. hunting seasons then they went to open during, then buy a permit for extended after reg deer season and soon it will be all year round just like all the other states that wised up. Recently heard them and found two half eaten fawns in Springfield twp on our hunting property.I also took a walk in the same woods where I hear them and saw a dead button buck with tracks all around it. I don't know it he was a hunter fatality or the yotes did it. I will be getting thespecial winteryote permit, some 55 grain ballistic tipsfor my 223 and brushing up on my cotton tail in distress calling technique real soon.
