Froggie, I am confident the Ky. Dept. of Fish & Wildlife has figures based on various reports they receive.  I would be surprised if the local conservation officer does not have that info. I used to deer hunt with the bow a lot in that general area, and there were lots of coyotes down there then.  They used to come up to the camping areas like stray dogs looking for a handout. Hunting and trapping pressure and "Progress" by man has probably changed the habitat there to some degree like it has most places.

3years ago there werein excess of 600 . Then we had two years of parvo or distemper, not sure which but th pup crop was almost nonexistant for those years. This year we have a good deal of improvement. Not the bumper crop we had three years ago but more than enough to go around. Rough guess would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 before furbeaere season and ht etrappers got in there. You can bet a hundred have already gone down so far . Jimmie
