Venters, Vic

Abstract:

Mention coyote and images of the West appear in the mind; however, within the past decade this pest from the West has arrived in North Carolina. There have been sightings in Jones, Craven, and Beaufort Counties, but the first evidence that the animals are breeding was discovered when some coyote pups were found on a Jones County farm.
