Bryan Johnson of Woodville saw what he said was definitely a coyote in June of this year on the Fodderstack Road at Fruit Tree Lane while he was bike riding. Johnson, who lived in Colorado for 15 years, said he knows exactly what they look like and there is no doubt that is what it was.
Allen Duvall, a hunter from Goldvein, was driving with a friend near Marshall when he spotted a pair of adults and six or seven puppies. Duvall has seen coyotes close up while hunting in Canada, and he is pretty sure the animals he saw were coyotes.
“The best I can think, that’s what they were,” he said. “They didn’t look like dogs, or any other animal around here.”
The coyote family was crossing an open field just before dark, Duvall said. He and a friend were heading south on U.S. 17 when they spotted the animals.
“It looked like they were just stalking across a field,” Duvall recalled. ; “They weren’t dogs,” he said. “I know what a dog litter looks like. I can’t think what else they would be.”
! Still, reported coyote sightings in northern Virginia are rare. Cattle farmers are more common than sheep farmers around here, and coyotes will rarely tangle with animals
