Default I doubt if the coyote population in Central FL compares with that in Tucson & Phoenix

After capturing (or maiming and then destroying) the animals and relocating the ones that survived, the community was overrun, and I mean really really overrun, with rabbits. They were everywhere and ate every flower garden in sight. Birds, geese, and other critters made the golf courses their nature latrines.
If people would not place food out and also keep watch over their small dogs and cats, the coyotes move on and a small number remain to keep the eco in balance.
Some information about coyotes. http://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/Co...et_03_hsus.pdf

I wonder what kind of statistics there are on coyotes in FL vs. those in AZ?
