For centuries, coyotes primarily roamed what is now the western United States. As civilization moved westward the wide-open wilderness was transformed by farms, ranches, highways, towns and cities. In the process, wolves that were a danger to livestock and people were gradually eliminated. Wolves, of course, were also the coyotes primary predator as well. Now with its primary predator gone, the coyote population started to explode.
And the coyote migration to West Virginia began. Now, the coyote is a major problem in neighborhoods, parks, farms, cities, towns and suburbs through out West Virginia. The coyote can be a dangerous animal and none of us want to experience a coyote encounter. So, what can we do about the coyote population in Virginia's western region?
The solution to controlling the coyote population in Virginia is actually found in the origin of the coyote population explosion. The key factor that caused the coyotes to come to West Virginia in the first place was the elimination of the wolf. Coyotes instinctively fear wolves. It is a fear deeply rooted in a coyote’s DNA. With no wolves around, coyotes thrived and could go anywhere they wanted without fear...like right here in West Virginia.
However, even though there may be no wolves around, coyotes still fear them and that fear is triggered by the scent of a wolf’s urine. The coyote population in Virginia knows that a wolf’s territory is not a safe place to be.
