Confirmed Gray Wolf in Adirondacks

Coyotes in Ma

BarrySr
Just looked at the game laws for coyotes in Ma. there is a season on them and they are NOT endangered nor listed as endangered. We (hunters) have been taken them for years.
The listed season on them is Nov 1 to Feb 28.

Its about time the DEC finally admitted that there are wolves in New York state. Next they just have to admit that there are cougars. Wolves probably worked their way in from Algonquin Provincial Park in Canada into the ADK's, and from there made it to the Catskills and Vermont. Its possible that while the wolves are exploring and looking for a place to go they could end up in a civilized area such as Albany, Glens Falls, Utica, Cooperstown, and other places like that.

DEC affirmation....

... of the existence of large cats or wolves may not be in the interest of those animals. That may be why they do not affirm it, if they can avoid it. Some hunters will make it a point to kill these animals. I don't like it and don't think it is legal, but it is the reality and they can often use justifications susch as livestock and personal protection.

There has bee misinformation dispersed here on the TV news, (how shocking) I stand corrected. Still won't hunt them.
