{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Overnight Brookie Trip Shenandoah

A little late to the thread, but may I ask where in the rules it states that alcohol is permitted in SNP? Does anyone have any stories of being hassled by park police for having an IPA while tying a stimulator on a tenkara rod by the campsite? 

Though the setting of the Rapidan is very pleasant and the fishing generally good, I wont be heading back there after my last experience which included an unfortunate run in with the "Conservation Police" while quietly sitting around a campfire. They "want everyone to enjoy the Rapidan WMA," but only if you drink Mr. Pibb out of sight, away from the road and stream.

Coyotes are actually in the same boat as other, larger carnivores despite their smaller size.  "Urban coyotes" which habituate to humans are a real problem in some of the western states in particular.  Google it --

Basically, the same things happens -- some individuals begin to show themselves during the daytime, gradually losing their fear of humans, etc.  They begin to associate with residential areas, observing things from a distance before moving in more closely.  Eventually domestic animals (cats/dogs) are attacked or killed, and then they will begin observing children playing in public areas, and you can guess the eventual outcome. 

There have been a lot of literature articles related to "destroying the wolf genetically" due to the same situation -- breeding with domestic dogs. 

Basically, the idea seems to be that due to genetic problems and/or the certainty of conflicts with humans, you really need an active hunting community and also people charged with removing problem animals from the population when they're identified.  Often this is thwarted in certain areas due to public perception of hunting and wildlife control, and also the myth that "they really aren't dangerous".
