County newspapers, regional out- door magazines (, Adirondack Life, New York State Conservationist, and Fur, Fish & Game), and regional scientific journals (, New York Fish and Game Journal) were examined for reports of Coyotes (time frame of search: 1880 - 2000), as were archives and collections of the American Museum of Natural History and the New York State Museum. County Clerks' offices in northeastern New York (Albany, Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Lewis, Jefferson, Madison, Montgomery, Otsego, Rensselaer, Oswego, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, St. Lawrence, Warren, and Washington coun- ties) were visited and canid bounty records and laws from the late 1800s and early 1900s were examined. In 2000 and 2001, field station, park, and preserve per- sonnel from throughout New York east of and includ- ing Oswego, Oneida, Madison, Chenango and Broome counties, where contacted to establish timing of Coyote establishment in their respective sites, and interviews (n = 38 individuals who were active with Coyote- related issues during the early stages of Coyote colo- nization) were conducted, with current and retired state biologists, wildlife technicians, university researchers, game wardens, professional trappers, hunters, taxi- dermists, fur buyers, and sheep farmers throughout eastern New York State (Fener 2001). From this data set a series of geographic information system data layers were created using ArcView/GIS mapping software (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, CA). Coyote repo
