Our area has been a case for a special trapper for a few years now. Like I said last Dec I had two grn guys here in my yard asking questions. They were well aware of the pack of coyotes we had in this small area. If you count the lady's dog that was feeding them going missing, that is 3 dogs in a 1/4 mile radius gone missing in the past 5 weeks.

JANUARY 10, 2012 - 4:35AM: THE CANADIAN PRESSParks Canada plans to pay an American biologist $100,000 to come up with a plan to reduce encounters between people and coyotes in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.

The proposed contract announced Monday comes more than two years after a young Toronto woman was mauled to death by coyotes while hiking alone in the park. Taylor Mitchell’s death on Oct. 28, 2009, marked the first recorded fatal coyote attack in Nova Scotia, and only the second in North America

The maulings were among several coyote attacks across Nova Scotia that prompted the province to offer a $20 bounty for coyote pelts. About 2,600 of the province’s 8,000 coyotes were trapped last season for the bounty

Coyote attacks continue to occur across Nova Scotia and Eastern Canada.

(Excerpt from that article): 17:30 RMPSS Barrett contacted by *****; guide with Freewheeling Adventures bicycle tours reported the following events: Around 11:00 a.m. a coyote ran out of the ditch beside the Cabot Trail about 200 m south of the Bog Exhibit, ran across the highway and harassed a female cyclist, *****, who was at the tail end of a group of cyclists in that area at the time. The coyote was aggressive. ***** got off her bike, used it as a shield against the coyote, and screamed for her husband. A passing truck stopped and picked her up and her bike and drove her to the Bog Exhibit. The coyote ran off into the woods. Later, at MacIntosh Brook Campground, ***** was there when the same truck arrived with another member, *****, of the cycling group who was also approached in an aggressive manner by a coyote at the same place. That occurred at about 11:30, a half hour after the first encounter


On the other hand, if anyone was interested in stealth camping in areas like that - I personally think they should be warned. There are Indian reservations close to many parks in Canada and what many native people keeps as pets could technically be better classified as domesticated wolves and have been interbreeding with local coyotes for years. If you want to argue about the details and pretend there's no problem suggest you spend a month in a tent in the woods in any of those areas in question.

I personally stayed at the site where the teenager was mauled while sleeping in a campground in Inverness and it's a very commercial campground close to commercial and residential areas. Lucky for her there were other people around and that she was able to get immediate medical attention. Stealth camping in a secluded area and she would have ended up like what's found left over from those missing dogs after a pack has finished feeding.
