Here in Nova Scotia it is open season on coyotes. Here is a small article explaining why and what has been accomplished so far.

2 months ago 30 kms from here there was a 16 year old girl walking home from school attacked by a coyote while walking home from school. According to the news reports it was not letting go, someone driving by noticed it and chased it off her. A trapper was called in and caught 4 of them. For some reason they are aggressive in this part of the country. It is also a known fact that they are killing deer. All hunters here view coyotes as a menace and target practice.
The coyotes here are a cross breed between a coyote and a timber wolf.
They are also in Newfoundland playing havoc with the caribou population, but so far not affecting the moose population. The 1st recording of a coyote in Newfoundland was a baby coyote that was hit by a car in Corner Brook in the early 1970ies. They came over on the ice from Labrador. So far there is no open season on them there but they are being studied. I am sure every hunter views them as target practice there also.
