| yea yea I know...dumb question. But a guy I work with is an avid hunter, he is reliable, and not prone to panic. He was out hunting a few months ago and he came up on some NJ Wildlife people. They were unnloading some coyotes into the woods off 206. He came accross a dead one later, it had a tag identifing it as raised in Texas, and a coyote-wolf hybrid. That rang a bell for me as they were putting in a water line near my house and one of the workers told me he saw a coyote. I have heard them on many mornings, have friends around town that have seen them.....only this is 1pm and it is standing there bold as all hell....at least 80 pounds. So they brought back bears, timber rattlers, what is next? Maybe we need some mountain lions? Oh they had one in Waterford works last year.... |

if you are in sussex county...yea, they did bring mountain lions back...I have seen one in FRANKLIN! and i live in the middle of the town!
coyotes...black bears, rattlesnakes....seen all of them in my yard..... this year.... the snake got mowed, they shot the bear earlier when they had the hunt and the coyote hasn't been back. |
| Coyotes and Black Bears are very much overpopulated in New Jersey. The bear hunt has been helping with the problem but it has to be consistent. Having one every other year does not help. With that, only every other generation of bears are killed off. It is a very messed up situation but hopefully will get better with a hunt each year. As for coyotes, the season has to be fixed. The season as of now only allows hunters to use t shot. Coyotes are hard enough to kill with buckshot and rifles but yet the state still does not allow us to use them. They have to do something with the coyote population soon or else we won't have anymore rabbits, turkey, deer, etc. to hunt. |

True story -
I live in central NJ. This past winter, someone nailed a big doe in the street just past our house. Just next to my house is a series of farm fields. About a week after this thing was hit, it disappeared off of the side of the road. I assumed the township came and cleaned it up. A couple of days later I was walking my dogs in the fields next to my house and came across the deer carcass. It had been dragged off of the side of the road through a small patch of woods and about 30-40' into the field and completely gutted. You can see where the ribs were literally gnawed off in some sports. I actually took pics. Now this was a big doe and must have been heavy. I really don't know what the hell could have done that...? I was thinking either a bear or maybe a couple of coyotes, but who knows. I'm told that coyotes are spotted here from time to time though I've never seen one. |

I doubt your friend stumbled upon a covert operation to increase the coyote population in NJ. I think it is more likely that the wildlife officials were simply relocating coyotes that were trapped elsewhere in the state. Also, hybrids are generally sterile. The myth of wolves interbreeding with the coyote population and creating a new breed of super-coyote is FUD. i.e., you can breed a horse and a donkey to produce a mule, but you can never breed your mule. My guess, some douche bag thought it would be cool to own a wolf/coyote hybrid and bought one from a breeder in TX. They either realized that it made a lousy pet and released it or it escaped. It was subsequently trapped and relocated to your neighborhood. But who knows. About 5 years ago, I saw a big male coyote rambling down the middle of Crispin Rd like he owned the place: not afraid of anything and looking for something to f––-up. Back growing up in OH, no coyote would have come within a half mile of a housing development and certainly would never walk down the middle of a road. |

I don't know. I can't explain it. Therefore, it absolutely must have been space aliens. Either space aliens, or the Jersey Devil. I'm going with a Jersey Devil/Alien hybrid. I'm so screwed. Time to lock and load!!! What round for Jersey Devil/Alien hybrid? |

We've had yotes in Paramus. Couple of years ago, some dumb ass HS'er went to pet the "sick" dog - got bit of course..... My wife's seen a yote or 2 early morning when she walks our dog(s). Darwin Award. Quote: PARAMUS, N.J. –– A coyote bit a teenager Friday at a New Jersey high school, school officials said. The Paramus Catholic High School student found the wild animal not far from school just off Paramus Road. The teen boy told school officials he thought it was a dog run over by a car, so he brought it to school, but instead it was a coyote. An animal official said coyotes rarely come in contact with humans, but this one did. Police said the teen apparently was unaware he was dealing with a potentially disease-ridden animal. School president James P. Vail told NewsChannel 4 that once the teen let officials know, they immediately called the paramedics, who took the student to a hospital. At this point it's unclear if the coyote had rabies, though officials at Paramus Animal Control said that animal was docile. There was also a news article in my local paper that said something about the coyote attacking a person's dog and taking it away. It was a small bichon frise (spellin?). Anyone else hear about this? .... |

Hard to believe the state would propagate nusance critters....but stranger things have happened. Easy for me to believe. Probably trapped in a highly populated area and "relocated" for the public safety. I imagine it would be quite difficult to get away with destroying the captured so-called "wildlife" and not get destroyed by the animal rights activists. |

They weren't relocated, they were bred in Texas I understand that. I do not follow the conclusion that NJ is bringing in wolf-coyote hybrids from TX when all you know is: 1. NJ wildlife was releasing coyotes 2. One released coyote had a tag identifying it as bread in TX. If you saw hoof-prints in NJ, would you conclude that we have zebras? All I am saying is: 99% chance your friend witness the release of trapped coyotes. 1% chance your friend witnessed a covert program for importing wolf-coyote hybrids from Texas. |
