303 Enfield but Baltimore County, Carroll, Frederick are not the eastern shore counties either....?
They have been here in Montgomery County decades now. They usually come out very late at night say 11 and the wee hours of the morning. I have seen them numerous times. One time last year we had one off in the distance following me while walking one of the dogs a labrador to be exact. When I noticed him I turned around he looked at me and vanished. Another time we were coming back at 2 a.m. from a dinner party one crossed in front of us behind Shady Grove Hospital. He blew across six Lanes like a ghost he was huge much larger than the Western coyote which I have seen numerous times in Colorado. A deer was hit last year and then dragged that night way back Into the Woods say 300 yards. Significant eating taking place in less than 12 hours. We are in Montgomery County we have bear here and we do have the mountain lion better known as a puma two confirmed sightings in Upper Montgomery County near Potomac River. I saw one chasing the deer 3 years ago near Bells Mill Road outside of Olney Maryland. DNR knows they exist but does not want to freak everyone out. They are very solitary only come out at night into the very early morning hours. Therefore ghosts do exist and they move fast. There was a coyote bounty in Virginia but that was done away with as it was unsuccessful. Virginia is having issues with deer populations due to the fact that the coyotes are praying on the fawns in springtime. Either way our wild populations are on the move and prospering.
In December, we saw one crossing the marsh on the snow in Dorchester County down south of Blackwater, near Bishops Head. Several people have seen them in the area.
I missed a nice one sika deer hunting right behind Mr Bradshaw's in Golden Hill a few years back. Before he had all that cut off.I live down near Hoopers Island. I can confirm I've got a few that cross my back yard regularly, and are always just out of line of sight when I can get a rifle in hand. I've seen several out at Blackwater as well.
Sightings all over Cecil County and neighboring PA. My brother lives out by Rising Sun and sees them all the time. I went tot a junk yard in North EAst and they had pics on the wall from game cameras around their property. Several shots of packs of them.
I am in Rising Sun and have caught them on trail cameras as well. I have also never seen a rabbit or small animal on my property other than groundhogs. They are around.
too funnyNearby county to me here in Texas, their warning notice about coyotes,
if you find you start having any issues with them where you live, too...

I'm not a coyoteologist but that kind of looks like a fox. It might be a coyote but its just a bad picture.
I was out hunting in the morning of the 31st trying to sneak a dear on the last day of deer season and at about 80 yards out a coyote walked out took a quick bathroom break and scurried away. At first I thought it was a husky(there has been one loose in my area in the last year) but its snout looked a bit different so I thought it might have been a coyote. I checked one of my trail cams and low and behold a healthy coyote. We always knew they were around here and thought we saw some before but had no hard evidence. Even DNR was surprised how big it was and where it was. Ran out and purchased my fur barer license that afternoon. Just when you think hunting season is over it pulls you back in. This was in Salisbury. Is that Eastern shore enough?
