Wow I’m curious if a NY coyote hunter would get in trouble if they accidentally shot one if there was one out there

Definitely so . Same goes for accidentally shooting a raven mistaken as a crow

We have some big ones in Steuben county I have personally seen bigger dogs than coyotes in our woods.

True it just sucks because at night there would be 0% chance anyone could tell the difference

From the article:

Wolf population control has been a political football ever since the states agreed to reintroduce the animals to the North woods decades ago Wisconsin’s first wolf hunting and trapping season took place in 2013, but was quickly halted by Federal judges when lawsuits were filed by the Humane Society of the United States and The Fund for Animals — two anti-hunting organizations.

The goal of the anti-hunting groups is to have the deer population controlled by predators, not hunters.  When deer numbers decline in the state, hunting deer will be banned and the wolves will thrive.  

The anti's don't mind deer kills, as long as hunters aren't allowed to do any of it.

I see the same anti-hunting group strategy being applied to areas with large coyote populations.  They do everything they can to minimize coyote kills as much as possible.  More yotes, fewer deer and fewer hunters in the long run.

Many folks out there practice the 3 s rule, shoot, shovel, shut up. I bet some ranchers even gut shoot them intentionally.
