RE: coyote hunting in jersey
We have a load of them in Zone 2 and most people consistently see them in the NW portion of the state.
We have shot a few on the farm in Wantage and these were taken by just posting and moving around. i would suggest either hunting over bait (road kill) or trying rabbit distress calls.
Try hunting in Hamburg/Wawayanda/Stokes or you can drive up Rt 15/Rt 206 and knock on doors as many farmers don't want coyotes around.
Good luck,
Bob
