Check out the size of this puppy

Jeez... you got some big ol critters up there old man!

That yote is big enough to be mistaken for a wolf...

He showed up again last night. I'll be reviewing game laws this evening. He/she may be going to K9 heaven

^^^oh man u can make a coyote gun sock now^^^

Wow, I did not realize coyotes are that big. Do they hunt solo or in a pack like wolves? Can i ask what county? thx

I'm not sure about packing up. Jefferson Twp. Morris Cty.

ok thx. I am in Mt. Arlington

Packed away somewhere I have Stanley Hawbaker's book on trapping Coyote. I bought the furbearers book and the Racoon book 33 years ago at the same time. It's how I would make a few hundred bucks every winter.

 

I could show you how to make a nice set that would get that guy the first night. Of course a #1-3/4 or #2 leghold trap would probably give a F&G inspector a heart attack and since you're old, you'd probably have a tough time dodging the book the cops would throw at you

Honestly Mark, This guy may catch a broadhead and then when the season allows some #4 or BB shot.

See, it's ok for me since I'm on the downhill slope of the roller coaster too.

Yeah, but that means you have to sit out in the woods and use some calls of some kind and wait. My method means you can sit in the warmth of your home and the next morning when you go out, you can watch it freak out when you get near it. It only takes a few moments to bludgeon it to death with a stout stick although I've never done a Coyote. Fox go down with one good smack.

I was speaking to a guy at work today who hunts. He said you can hunt coyotes during shotgun season. Obviously, don't take this as gospel but it might encourage you to verify if you were thinking it was a certain "no no" in NJ.

I say do whatever it takes to rid your yard of that varmint.

There were/are wolves on Picatinny Arsenal in the Jefferson area, and there have been noted cases of cross- breeding between wolves and coyotes. This appears to possibly confirm this.

I can confirm this: went fishing a couple of years ago at Mount Hope Pond, which is just down the road from the arsenal. I was going around the east end--near the old church-- and saw something walking through the tall grass. It was either a big coyote or a young wolf, but it sure as hell wasn't a dog.

 

Frankly, that area is spooky as balls, IMO. Between the bottomless mine vents and shafts across the road from the pond, and the bears, coyotes/wolves and rattlers we've seen there, the place has a palpable sense of weirdness.

if its a cross breed or a young wolf then you might be facing legal issues shooting it maybe?
