Trail cam caught him Tuesday night, keep an eye on your little dogs!
I'll try to call him in this weekend.

Not a surprise. They've been pretty heavy in HoCo for almost 10 years. Some yuppies near me were putting dog food out thinking they were stray dogs...

When I lived in Nevada we had them all over and they don't eat little dogs. Bunny's yes, dogs no. They really don't like anything that puts up a fight.

We had a very large one in the neighborhood and all the stray cats disappeared.

And the problem is?

The ones that have moved into MD don't seem to mind a little scuffle. Two of the ones I've seen have been chasing full grown deer and the one i caught (watched it hit the trap while chasing deer) had been kicked hard enough at some point to knock out a tooth and fracture its upper jaw pretty good

I hope they don't bother joggers because sometimes I run late at night on the other side of that farm.

Down the street from us, a neighbor reported a Yote pulling a deer into the woods. We back up to park property where a stream runs through it. Lots of deer. Random Yote reports over past few years.

that's because the Coyotes migrating east have interbred with wolves creating the Eastern Coyote.

From what I have read all the coyotes on the east coast have wolf DNA and are more social (with other coyotes), larger, and more aggressive than the western counterpart.

And then there are the coydogs to contend with. I don't know how prevalent they are around here.

Joggers........yum

Out west they weren't an issue. Little for the most part and didn't want to be around people. The population went up and down with the rabbit population. Lots of bunny's lots of yotes, no bunny's no yotes. I enjoyed seeing them the few times that I did.

My old peepers weren't deceiving me, saw a dead one at the ramp to I-95 south from 216 a few yards away from a deer carcass.

Them too. coyotes are adaptable little bastards.

I saw a pretty big one munching on a road kill deer at the bottom of north 795 two winters ago.

I've made a few trips to the Carolina's in the last couple months and saw more road kill coyotes than road kill deer

You're the third person who has mentioned this.
The way the bird flies, I'm a half mile from 695/795 with woods and a FT stream behind my house. I have never seen evidence of coyotes around here. LOTS of fox and deer, but never a yote.

I'm not far from you as the crow flies, 5 miles at most. I saw one near the Royal Farm Store on Red Run right before the big snow storm.

They use to be pretty regular in my yard in Mount Airy, but we haven't seen one in several years.

My neighbor told me that he saw a coyote in back of our houses this morning.

This is off Lee Hill Drive and Lynn Burke Road in the Monrovia zipcode.
