You can’t live in the Hudson Valley or the Northeast without hearing about the mysterious coywolf. From Facebook posts and YouTube videos to the Nextdoor app, the steady stream of chatter about “coywolf” sightings suggests that coywolves are a special breed. Even a petition to save a Dutchess County forest from a planned quarry expansion included a desperate plea to spare a local celebrity, Goliath, “a massive, rare Coywolf” who is “adored by the community due to his majestic and mysterious attributes.”

On March 11, ECOs Tompkins, Thibodeau, and Franz conducted a plainclothes fishing detail focused on anglers taking out-of-season striped bass. The officers patrolled George’s Island Park in the town of Cortlandt and Croton Landing Park in the village of Croton-on-Hudson. During the detail, the ECOs observed several anglers taking and keeping out-of-season fish. The ECOs issued 10 citations for violations including possessing out-of-season fish and fishing without a valid license. The officers seized 42 striped bass from violators and recovered 38 striped bass from large black garbage bags concealed in a nearby wooded area. Several fish were released back into the Hudson River to survive another day and the rest of the fish were donated to a local Wolf Conservation Center.
