New coyote hunter

[HANDGUNNER]

Hello, I'm new to the board. I live in NH and I'm going after coyotes for the first time. I got some around my house. We heard them at night last summer and this summer and the neghbor came runnin over yesterday reporting two at the end of the road that showed no fear. I'm also pissed off. Since we started hearing them last year we haven't had any rabbits. I went up and down the power lines this winter and I couldn't even find tracks. My oldest boy just came of age to go and that's how I was brought into hunting when I was a kid, huntin rabbits. The Town of I live in is limited to shotgun and .22 rimfire. I bought a Marlin .22 mag and it's dead on out to a hundred yards. Hope it's enough gun. There was a great article in Foster's Daily of NH about yotes a couple of weeks ago. The biologist were perplexed by the size of North East coyotes (60lbs and up,) and did a study, testing the DNA looking for cross breeding with domestic dogs. Turns out that none of the coyote DNA tested postive for domestic dogs, but it did test postive for the gray wolf. I'm trying find the article on-line so I can post it. I'm still practicing with the calls, (the wife is really pleased with this,) I hope to get out soon.
