Coyote Sighting Rt 40 Aberdeen

adit · Jul 7, 2016

Almost hit one 12:30am this morning heading east on Rt40 at Rt715.

It ran out from the rock/asphalt plant in front of me, jumped over the jersey wall and over to the SHA garage.

I saw one in Frederica, DE last week as well. This one was running along Rt1 at the edge of a field and didn't even seemed fazed by me driving alongside it.

Reminds me to install the dash cam sitting on the counter.

When I worked on APG I saw them there all the time. German Sheppard sized ones.

Pretty sure we have them here in Abingdon too. Found the remains of a fox in my neighbors yard recently. Pretty much devoured save the head and lower legs. He has no dogs.

Found tracks in Perryville one day. Shortly after I saw one in a field, right next to Rt40.

I ran over one a year ago on 155 by the park and ride lot in HdG. He was smaller that the ones I have seen previously.

I'd like to see a few more of them to help control the deer!

Then when they explode (more) so I can nab a few pelts...

I'm offering to shoot any (in season, with proper creds / licenses) for anyone that has issues; just PM me!

There are no coyotes in Maryland, must have been a Chupacabra.

Coyotes Report-Abingdon MD, near Abingdon Rd and Philadelphia Rd
I see coyotes behind my house on a regular basis. They won't come in close like the fox will do, but they do come within rifle range (no more than 150 yards). I have told the neighbors to watch their yappy dogs and younger children. I would hope the coyotes will never come close to the houses, but if they do, it could get ugly very quickly.

Seen them oftenish in havre de grace.

No coyotes yet in the wilds of Columbia that I've seen. But it was entertaining this morning to watch my resident fox grab a rabbit out of my garden and chow down on it while I was eating breakfast. He's gotten pretty brazen over the past few weeks, not limiting his hunting to the hours around dawn or dusk. Maybe this year's garden won't be a salad bar for small furry creatures.

My deer problem says otherwise.

Well, there is that. So far the deer have limited themselves to nipping the tops off of my tomato plants. Apparently they don't like them enough to keep eating.

I'm off Hooker Mill Rd in a development. Same neighborhood. For whatever reason we have an explosion of the rabbit population this year. My garden is getting ravished by them. Foxes are welcome. 'yotes apparently seen to follow.

I live between Rt 7 and the railroad. It would seem the fox and coyotes are sticking to this area. Seeing all of the rabbits in your area would be about right. They're going to go to an area that the fox and coyotes won't go.

Rabbit stew is a mighty fine meal.

You must live right near the old Abingdon Dump, Sam Hill Road. Glowing mutant Foxes.

Serves as County W/S maintenance and County Highway shop's these days.

Not far from it at all. You leave my little fox buddies along. They don't have to be Red to be beautiful.

Last year, we did have one that looked like it was dipped into a vat of acid. He lived throughout the summer, but I haven't seen him this year.

Lol

I just saw a big Ol'fox sitting in someone's yard late afternoon on Federal Lane (not too far away) recently.

Yotes seem to be pretty well established in Harford Co. now. I've spoken to farmers on the perryman penninsula a few yrs ago and they would talk about being in the tractors at night and seeing coyotes at the field edges. Not far from where the op saw his.

Guess I need to start watching the little dogs closely when I let them out at night...... I knew we had foxes around Box Hill, now these things are being reported too.

They used to kill sheep all the time on my brother's farm in Churchville.
