Alex I’m with you.
Coyotes are in NYC now so where are you supposed to go to get away from them? Some of the people on this thread are in need of a reality check. As Alex said coyotes are not native to Ct so we are not encroaching on their territory.
A grown woman was killed in Canada 2 years ago while walking on a trail in broad daylight. After doing some research I have realized that they are a threat to humans and to me and my family. The gun is coming with me if I have to go outside at night. Why take chances. And it would be nice if they were declared a pest and could be hunted year round.

To those IDIOTS that say humans need to respect that Coyotes were here first…

Coyotes are not native to CT. They moved in to fill the void left when wolves were removed by hunting. And just like deer, their population is exploding.

People argue that Coyotes are only doing what is natural to them, hunting. OK, well humans have been hunting as long as we have been on Earth. Quid pro Quo

Anyone want their pack thinned out a bit, let me know.

I lost my sheltie bitch last evening to coyotes. I guess I was lucky I didn’t lose my dog as well. These animals are the love of my life now that I’m widowed and I sspend most of my time training them . I have lived here for over 30 years and we used to raise goats. Coyotes had neveer been a problem before. They were shy and evidently fed on woodland creatures. This attack with 2 animals coming right into my yard to grab this little dog has no reason behind it. There are still plenty of squirrels, etc. around.
I would like to see the DEP take steps to see that our homes are made safer from these killers.

I live in Newington at base of cedar mountain on deepwood drive. During summer my cat disappeared and while canvassing neighborhood noticed many neighbors had missing cats signs posted on telephone poles. Several days later while my wife was walking at 8:30 AM in morning large male coyote dashed right in front of her cutting thru next street over from me neighbor’s yards. Constantly her coyotes howling at nite near Balg Quarry, would like to get rid of them but they are on state land I believe. Have another cat which we walk outside and generally kept in doors. Contacted animal control officer they did nothing except post message on local tv channel. Concerned about small children coyotes seem to be getting more agressive

I live in Farmington at 1:30 this morning I saved a cats life from a coyote. I was on my balcony smoking and heard a small comotion. A cotote was trying to catch a cat. The cat went up a tree with the coyote in hot pursuit. It was about 30 feet away from me. I yelled at the coyote and it looked at me for a good 20 seconds I continued to make noise for it to go away, it did.. The cat then came down from the tree after the coast was clear, and all was well. What are the odds of that? It seems to me as divine intervention. Lifes pretty cool some times.

Sincerely,
Cynthia Mehl

Hey ronn. Not illegal to trap or kill coyotes. Actually very liberal bag limits and seasons. aND IF YOU ARE IN A TIGHT NEIGHBORHOOD A BOW AND ARROW WILL DO THE TRICK.

Aren’t there laws about discharging firearms in residential areas?? Maybe you could try firecrackers or a beebee gun first rather than just killing an innocent animal trying to survive in it’s natural environment. Or even rocksalt, why jump straight to killing?

Kill it they will not question you it came on your property and clearly they are hunting something in your yard scoping out the situation I was 10 feet from my dog and one jump out and snatched him any way. We shoot on our property and noone has ever come checking in. And if they do say you were bringing out the trash and every time you do they have been circling and yelping and this time they came too close. Just do it before you have a $6,000 vet bill or worse a dead dog. Do you have children?, all the more reson.

Was out in my backyard which is wooded (CANTON, CT), at about five am this morning letting the dog out as usual and herd some noise out about 30 yard ahead of me thought maybe the wind and leaves. The dog was going about his biz and herd the noise closer. This brave coyote was about fifty feet from us and began to yelp at us. This is the third day it has come to meet us and every day it is getting closer. Keep in mind its dark this time of year and not easy to spot. What can I do to resolve since it is against the law to trap or kill in CT.???? The dog has got to be let out??
