Coyote season opens October 1st here in New York. I'm just researching to see if I'm wishful thinking with a recurve.
We've had them in the area for decades but never this close and vocal. I have a female Chesapeake Bay Retriever that has always seemed to keep them distanced from the house but not so sure now.
I have seen one of the adults twice in the last few months but only for a moment at a time. Good sized and in good shape. I'm hearing the pack sounding at all hours of night but mostly late. One of the adults, likely the male, doesn't have that high pitched coyote howl.
Anyway, if I did decide to go with a rifle or shotgun and preasure them, do you think they'd move on. I haven't been seeing any turkey and not one fawn behind the house this season. It's got me wondering.
