Using live traps and dog collars, a landowner in northwest Ohio is conducting his own research into how far coyotes can travel. David Yankee's homespun coyote-tracking project has been underway for more than a year, and last week it yielded its most interesting result yet. On March 17, Yankee learned that one of the coyotes he'd collared in January 2022 had traveled more than a hundred miles across the state, making it all the way from his property near Kenton to a location south of Lancaster, where it was shot and killed by a hunter.
