The ones in Canada in the Maritimes do. They are big. I would let someone trap for rhem on my land, they hang around pretty close and constantly try to trick my dogs into the woods to be murdered. My one is 120lbs and the other 80 but that doesn't seem to phase them.

They have been on the increase since the late seventies, early eighties. I would lie in a tent and listen to them in my twenties above Baxter. Now they are like raccoons, every where. They even are in NYC they have a video about it on YouTube.

Near me two nights ago they were vocalizing what sounded like coyote laughing. They alot of different sounds, that is what it sounded like to me. Not human laughing but like they were talking trash to each other and joking. I opened the window to listen until I fell back to sleep. They also yelp and bark like a small dog to try to lure my dogs away to be jumped but my dogs just looked at each other and stayed in camp. Lots of snowshoe hares this year, other people noticed too. So I guess they are happy with that and the large number of game birds around.

These woods are more populated than you think. I live off grid off a dirt rd on a logging road another mile in that ends at a gate. Most days somebody drives by. Bear baiters come by every day to refresh the bait barrels and people just drive up to the gate at the river and turn around. Not on any atv trail map or anything, just people driving around, hunters, foresters, logging crews , fish and game wardens. Now in fall it is alot quieter, days go by without seeing someone but a few live off grid year round here and they sort of patrol the road in their utvs. But I admit this is southern Aroostock not up in the crown.

No please don't come up here. They found a skeleton in the woods never me and once they discovered they were from away they kind of shrugged. Foresters found the bones when accessing timber. I was there Friday at ANP and the place was a madhouse so we drove north towards Machias. One hour of looking for a parking space and then seeing every trail head parking overloaded convinced me to avoid that park except maybe winter or really early spring.

Wow you are trotting out Reagans big lie cause the current GOP lies aren't enough? They are there to protect you as much as they are protecting the public from a massive epidemic, or pollution, or any other problem brought on by greed and ignorance that science and government have the capacity to fix. So sick of complaining about the government, it has its pro lems but still it is always worse when the GOP gets control cause their real God is money not JC who they would want to kill or jail again if he showed up today. We all know this. The government is just an easy target that deflects from the crimes business has committed for profits. Classic example the forever chemicals we have to deal with now where known by the manufacturers as dangerous but they kept that secret as long as possible, just like the fossil fuel companies and global warming. I trust the government more than any private company like DuPont or ExxonMobil, unless it is controlled by GOP and Trumpers, they are POS trash that have no business running anything.
