Naturalist Experts pushed for re-introduction of coyotes into PA (and maybe
your states too), and now there is a bounty on them.

What a moving hollyday story of no significance.. I can't believe that they
missed the opportunity to suggest that this wild animal is a DOGGIE and that
the rescuers are HEROES.

Look at the free public money that was expended for a coyote. Helicopter,
manpower, fuel, boat(s) potential risks of a person drowning/pneumonia or
being infected with rabies or other disease, etc.

Are you sure you're not confusing the reintroduction of wolves with
coyotes? I don't believe coyotes were ever native in the east until
they expanded their range relatively recently, and have never heard of
an intentional introduction.

No bounty here (ME), but very few restrictions on hunting coyotes.
Maybe the rescue was an attempt to insure a good coyote harvest? g
