Delaware/Peninsula: coyotes

[delaware_export]

Friends on recent hunt trip to sodel stated that coyotes have been released? Or spread into? lower de. Eastern Sussex county, but if true, they’re surely moving around now.

Anyone seen them around? Anywhere on the peninsula? Especially Delaware.

Been a few years but I've seen them here in Caroline County.

MD DNR has been saying they were in every county in MD for at least 2 or 3 years. I don't think they could be in every MD county and not be in DE as well. My cousins confirm sighting them farther up the peninsula in Kent County MD just last week.

MD DNR also claims there aren't feral pigs in Maryland. Yet they are in Northern Virginian and also in Southern PA...

Though I'll say I haven't heard anyone claim they've seen feral pigs in Maryland (in DC, sure).

they were in Prime Hook at least 10 years ago. Don't know the year but before Hurricane Sandy breached the sea wall at Prime Hook anyway, we saw several heading out or from duck hunting. Prime Hook has been awful since so we don't really hunt it anymore.

If they aren't here, they'll get here. The VA and PA pig populations are two separate groups.

PA and NJ and pigs swim. I predict the marshes of Delaware will eventually be overrun with them. Crop damage permits on Delmarva are certainly to be issued in all three states

I’m still surprised sika deer haven’t spread further up the peninsula. It’s still uncommon to see them north of Queen Annes county

They like swamps. They should thrive in DC.

I saw what you did there .

Ugh. The forum software truncates the thread title into "Delaware/Penins..."
When I'm in a hurry skimming the topics it looks like "Delaware/Penis..."

Feral pigs were observed this year near Linkwood. Raiding bait piles. Probably leftover overs that went feral from around Hawkeye.
They were hunting coyotes south of Weston Farms in the marsh 20 years ago. (Fishing Bay)
The coyotes are all over the place now for sure.
I was seeing Sika (small numbers)in Caroline in the early 2000’s near American Corner- Preston Harmony area.
They’re also spotted in between Seaford and Laurel and over to Phillips’s landing / Pete Gum , Woodlands - Walkers Marine for the past few years.
Someone earlier this week or end of last week said they or someone in their party killed spike stag south of Blades somewhere.
They had to use a whitetail tag on it for some reason after communicating with dnrec.
My wife also told me she seen one at her friends farm in Hurlock the other day as well now that I think about it.

Didn't she move to CA and become speaker

I was talking to a farmer in Andrews and he mentioned multiple coyotes seeing, it is close to Black Water.

 

[Maki]

I know it's Central MD, but can confirm Coyotes in Anne Arundel County. Just had a family meeting to discuss how we're going to deal with them on the property.

It's in the hunting regulations that any sika deer kills goes against one's whitetail deer harvest.

The same goes for Fallow deer, if there are any escapees.

So, in DE a deer is a deer

 

[Hibs]

Why are some of yall surprised by Coyotes out here?

Because they don't see them playing in their yards
