RE: Who has seen Coyotes in NC?
HunterKel there are coyotes in almost every state now. I life on the boarder of NC/SC and hear them at night while getting out of the stand. So far I have not seen one while hunting. As from what I have observed and been told it is not common to actually see them.
As for NC the orgins from what I have read at NC Wildlife started with fox hunters bringing them in. I couldn't readily find the article but there is on about it. They bread like rabbits so they can mulitply very quick. The only major problems are a couple rabid ones in the Raleigh area. Other than that they probally do a good job of killing off the weaker deer thus providing better deer managment. I know thats a subject for debate but DNR has not found a reason to mass kill them yet just allow for the killing of them year round.
