Wild fox makes surprise appearance in Philadelphia

Old news in DC. We need the foxes to eat the rabbits.

Couple of days ago, my good neighbor called to say that she and her husband just saw a coyote chasing a big female deer and her two yearlings across their property, heading for mine. I ran to the window to see what I could see, but they must have veered into the woods, 'cause I didn't see them.

But, the thing is, I'm pretty sure coyotes don't chase down adult deer. I'm assuming it was a wolf. :eek:

Coyotes will do that around here, but, it's not the most common of occurrences.

If yours was a 'yote, he was prolly going after the younger deer.

We have larger coyotes up this way because the migrated across Canada then down through New York and New England picking up some wolf blood along the way.
North Carolina Coyotes played nice-nice with red and gray wolves.
I don't know if the Coyote up in the northwest are sluts too.

The biggest coyote weighed in an organized coyote hunting contest this weekend - the biggest weekend for organized hunts in Pennsylvania - was a huge canine weighing in at 53 pounds.

The huge male coyote topped a field of 193 weighed in by 4,836 hunters registered for the Mosquito Creek Sportsmen's Association coyote hunt, which is the oldest and largest of Pennsylvania's organized hunts. The Venango County coyote won a prize of $9,672 for hunter Michael Galbraith.

According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, adult male coyotes in Pennsylvania weigh 45-55 pounds. They are much larger than their western counterparts because of their genetical mixing with wolves and dogs as they expanded their range to the east.

The second largest coyote weighed in the Mosquito Creek contest was a 48.65-pound male from Tioga County that won $5,803.20 for hunter Tom Sherman. Third place went to a 45.55-pound male from Susquehanna County that won $3,868.80 for hunter Dustin Holl.


True enough Bruce.

There are usually plenty of coyotes around here, although this winter there have been far fewer (I'm basing this on the fact that most winters, I hear the coyotes yipping and howling at least one or two evenings a week - this year; radio silence). Of those I've seen, they're definitely not in the 40-lb range.

According to the paper, there are coyotes in Arlington (corpses hit by cars have been collected) but I haven't seen any.

Foxes, yes. Not uncommon at all.

I'm pretty sure I saw a coyote (from across a big parking lot) in Falls Church a few years back.
