Well, it was only a matter of time.
I have been telling people for years that there are coyotes in Delaware. There are coyote hunting regulations in surrounding states, so it is only logical that coyotes are here. In fact, I’ve had several conversations with DNREC officials about coyotes in Delaware, and they have confirmed that coyotes reside in Delaware.
I have seen photos of coyotes trapped and hit by cars in Delaware, but I haven’t seen proof of one shot. Guess what? WE NOW HAVE PROOF!
Thanks to my lifelong friend John Massey, owner of Shooters Supply in New Castle, here’s our proof. John shot this 34-pound female coyote with a bow on November 18, 2009 on private property near Middletown, Delaware.
I told you so!
(By the way…If you still don’t believe me, see for yourself! John had the coyote mounted, and the mount sits in Shooters Supply. Go check it out.)
