More interesting to me is where they weren't not so long ago. My now-deceased hunting buddy (with a Wildlife Management degree from NC State U.) claimed coastal North Carolina was the last portion of the country to receive Canis latrans.
Look where the #1 is located. Kinda funny..Daniel
The numbers are subspecies of coyotes.

Brians356, I do believe your buddy was right or real close to it. I shot my first coyote in 1976 and where the bottom tip of the black is in TN. I was hunting close to that area. First thought it was a German Shepherd as I had never seen a coyote. Kansas and Missouri have a lot of coyotes also. I have often wondered if the Game Comissions have brought them into each state also.More interesting to me is where they weren't not so long ago.

PS This map (of 20 C. latrans subspecies, dated 1978) suggests my buddy was right.

The Idaho and Montana area is best source of QUALITY fur ,, a lot of the Midwest/central regions have been populated by these red-tinged dawgs, and the buyers don't like them as much.
.
Guided coyote hunts would not be a profitable adventure, they move and adapt quickly. Of ten , I will visit the same stand and call 4-8 times without success.
Everybody that is legal to own an AR15 , owns a FoxPro around my area .. They go out, and you'll hear 4 guns empty part of a 30 round mag, and nobody comes out with a pelt..
.
.That situation yields coyotes with a very high education.
