I grew up in Middletown. When the first report came out I thought they were referring to an area near the middletown train station but I see now that they are refering to the woods around the tracks by the Earle weapons station. I used to party back there as a teenager. The area around the tracks in federal property and consequently no trespassing (but kids go back there all the time). It is clearly a situation of habitat conflict, there wern't any coyotes back there when I lived there.
