They are thick here in Frederick County on the western side. Bold (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) walk around in the middle of the day. Missed a good one with my bow just before rifle season. Trying to trap them but a newbie.

Been hearing a lot of people the last few years saying they've seen/heard them. Hoping they stay away from Caroline county!

I wonder when the high numbers some fox trappers get in Maryland and southeastern PA will start to diminish since it sounds like the yotes are starting to take over this part of the country. I hope it doesn’t happen for these red fox trappers but it may be inevitable.

I don't know, but it sure hasn't happened here. I've got coyotes on every piece here and the reds are still holding fast. I snared a red and coyote less than ten yards apart today. Coyotes will kill them given a chance but so far here anyway they're coexisting

I'd have to say I have similar experience here- seen the first yote in 2005 and have seen them sporadically ever since, never very many. Reds seems as good as ever- last year and this year lowest mange rates I have ever seen!

happened in south Jersey.
A good thing is the greys are coming back, and the reds seem to be holding not like we use to have though. flat farm ground the little red has a rough time with the yote.

First thing you'll see... Dead ones trapped.

Set this piece for my son just five days ago and it's been good with 12-13 reds already but 3 killed and ripped up.

Guess it's time for dad to lend a helping hand there. 1 last jersey coyote to contend with.

1976 I killed a coyote in Clearfield County PA. Still had lots of fox thru the 1980's . In 2009 I spent some time on my old Clearfield County fox line. Found lots of coyote tracks and NO fox tracks. In Maine where I trap coyotes I get 5-10 fox each year. So far only one fox has been harmed while in my trap. IMO coyotes will be a BIGGER problem on the Eastern Shore than they will be in SE PA.

1976

Maine fox had a coyote in a trap <50 feet from the fox.

That's a great picture of you EB! Why do you think yotes pose a bigger problem on the eastern shore than in sepa?

Thanks, JK. The photo is only 42 years old. My cabin burnt in 1977, cause of fire unknown.

Too much human activity in SE PA.

Great pics. Beaglador, they’re really taking off here now. Still plenty of reds but depending on the piece, they’re really laying waste to the reds in snares. On the one farm now, in less than 1 week they’ve killed 4 that were in the cable.

What part of the Eastern Shore are you catching the coyotes?I'm around Easton.So far I haven't seen any.Did talk to a guy that got a couple on camera up around Annapolis.

I trap from Berlin to Pocomoke, mostly around Snow Hill. Newark seems to be where a lot of the coyote activity has been. 2 that I’ve killed were on my family farm in Newark/cedartown. The other was snow hill. Neighbor farmer shot one as well, and a guy brought me one to skin ( so he could have tanned ) during rifle season - was killed in Newark
