CALDWELL, LACONIA DAILY SUNGILFORD — A Manchester-based wildlife advocacy group is looking to limit the recreational hunting season for coyotes. There already are restrictions on night hunting and trapping, but Voices of Wildlife had petitioned New Hampshire Fish and Game to shorten the firearms season for coyotes. Schadler, who holds a master’s degree in conservation biology, maintains that pack animals like coyotes regulate their own populations. “If there were hunting activities during that period, they were taken in response to coyotes being a nuisance in a particular area,” Sanderson said.
