Hope I can get some clarification here.
News story on local CBS Boston affiliate quotes Newton PD who states coyote are 'protected' wildlife. Hmm, last I knew there was a hunting season on coyote. So I says to herself... replied 'well that's what the news said...'
Sure enough I've got the quote from the channel website. I looked up endangered, threatened, and special concern species on state website and no coyote listed. So I was about to send a correction email to Newton PD and or news station, but since I am not a hunter and unsure of competing federal protections what is the coyote status in Massachusetts?
