COYOTES KILLED NEAR MORGANTOWN METRO AREA

(02/08/2012)

Calhoun residents are well aware of the increasing coyote population, and their avoidant behavior to cling to remote, wooded areas. Now comes a story from Morgantown about coyotes in or near the metro area. U.S. Department of Agriculture employees have killed eight coyotes in a hilltop Morgantown shopping center complex and they aren't sure how many remain nearby. The Town of Granville hired the USDA under a $2,600 contract last year to kill as many as 10 coyotes believed to be living behind the Wal-Mart at University Town Centre. They were suspected of taking small animals and trash from the complex area. The coyotes were shot at night and away from shoppers.
