First officially confirmed Coyote sighting by DEC on Long Island

[Water Rat]

So how did they get out there?

Probably an escaped or released pet.

It's legal to shoot an dog which isn't properly chained up during deer season if you see it chasing a deer. Which I'm sure is the case if you saw a yote going past your stand

I know you mean this in jest but it is not true

Seriously though, I thought LEGALLY you can shoot any dog which is chasing a deer during hunting season. I would never do that because I think it is morally and ethically screwed up, but remember reading about it sewhere.

I think the days of shooting dogs during deer season are long gone,small game is open from Oct 1st,and not everybody hunts deer,we release pheasants and most of the time the hunters

 

use dogs

[CuseHunter]

I'm serious though. I thought it was f'ed up. A guy I worked with told me about it and I thought it was ridiculous too. On that note though (leaving before being grilled)

Apparently the yote has its own twitter account.

i havnt heard of someone shooting a dog in a long time... you would have to be pretty cold to shoot a dog in the woods.

 

lol @ twitter account

I can remember reading about yote sightings in NYC for at least the last 5 years. I dont see it as very surprising that they made it to LI. They can cross bridges, etc. No need to swim.

true and although true you would think sightings would pop up in Nassau before you would see them on Eastern LI in suffolk. there is a ton of residential area to pass through before a yote can hit the hamptons. Queens would be a tough spot for a yote to go under the radar.  jmo

 

anything now a days is possible tho

Long Islanders better lock up thier small pets, those bastards are opportunistic hunters.

Plenty of cats, rats, possums, coons and small dogs in the boros for them to feast on. As long as they can find cover, food is readily available to them.

yea I was gonna say not surprising as NYC has had yotes for years.

[dbHunterNY]

why they wouldn't allow yote hunting is beyond me. is there a law banning it? otherwise DEC should just strong arm the need. all discharge setback distances, weapons restrictions, etc. all would still apply.

I saw one creep up and grab a goose. I though it was a dog until it trotted by with the goose. That was on randell ave. By the cemetery

Their killing machines, predator at its best!!

[Curmudgeon]

Glad to hear some good news from LI. Maybe coyotes will help with the excessive deer and feral cat problem.

"Their (sic) killing machines." I just wish they were better at killing deer.
