While it's not extremely rare to encounter coyotes in the Tuftonboro area, coyotes are a hazard to pets outdoors and are wide-ranging critters. |
A few years ago, there was small news item in the Grunter about a pack of coyotes in Tuftonboro -- Melvin Village, in fact. No surprise. They're everywhere. We have a bunch down here in Eastern PA, and I've seen them on business campuses, highways, and parks.
About four years ago, the family and I were headed up to the Lake on a steamy July day, and we nearly clipped one crossing the Mass Pike near Charlton plaza. Bright, sunny mid-day, with tons of traffic. No mistaking that gait and the big tail.
Good article in Smithsonian recently about the prolific nature of the eastern coyote. They are typically much larger than the old-school western variety.
