Coyotes

[stomachmonkey]

Was outside on the phone just before when I see a dog start to wander up the neighbors driveway across the street.

Hey, that's a Coyote!

So I start down my driveway for a closer look.

Bad idea. Little fucher turns on me and chases me back into my garage and then takes off down the street.

I am ashamed to admit it but I screamed like a girl.

I got chased by two coyotes once. I wouldn't have believed it except that I was the one running. Any time I had seen a coyote before this they were very skittish and would avoid being around people as much as possible. The funny thing was that I was on the phone with my girlfriend (Wife now) and she heard me yell at the coyotes when they started my way and then heard as I frantically ran into the house screaming like a school girl....you can tell my Wife is cool because she omits the screaming part when the story is told

I see dead coyotes by the side of the road about once a week.

Walking through the dark, winter woods in Michigan with my deer rifle on my way back to camp from deer hunting. The yotes are just a few hundred yards out, making locator calls to each other that 'something' is passing by. Some how the fact that I have a loaded rifle doesn't keep it from weirding me out......

coyotes are some tough little suckers, if they were chasing you, they either had pups they were protecting, were starving, or both

A coyote was found in a restaurant in Chicago, made all the local news.

you should have used a motorcycle on him

hear them every night on the property next to ours. It's a 33 acre tract that is not cleared and has a huge hill on it. If they make their way to my property it's on! I don't want to find out what happens when coyotes and my dogs mix.

No thanks, I saw how that worked out for you.

Happy that you won that one.

I have two or three dens of them around me. When I bought my current house they would test the chain link fence while my dogs were barking like crazy on the other side of the fence. The coyote just ignored my dogs yapping and kept testing the fence. I found the head of a deer in my yard once, just the head. I lost a very large dog (huskie and st. bernard) that just disappeared. Had another large dog that got surrounded by coyotes and they clipped his Achilles tendon trying to hobble him. I intervened and pulled my dog inside. True survivors.

Or rabid,,
Saw one a few weeks ago in my neighborhood.. had to go out and walk the dog when I got home, you can bet the baretta was in my front pocket,, saw him again but heading away from me,, Just hanging out looking for some cats to eat I guess...

I never had issues with coyotes in AZ...but I was once chased 1/4 mile down a country road, in the dark...by a VERY angry badger.

I'd take a pack of coyotes any day over that thing.

Not many coyotes in my area...do you think sheep ranchers packing mini-14's could have anything to do with that?

i live in the middle of hollywood. and see coyotes every so often. they were yipping at the moon last week. my cat, who wants nothing to do with me 360 days out of the year suddenly became to most affectionate little cuddle bug.

If you see a coyote in a populated area, during the day, there is a good chance that it is rabid.

Plenty of tips how to handle a coyote in the old cartoon with the roadrunner (beep-beep). That is still one of most funny cartoons I have ever seen. All the gizmos and crazy trap ideas and still the poor coyote always end up crashing into rocks and falling from high cliffs.

But I appreciate you admitting to screaming like a girl. Takes a man to do that. Admitting, that is.

I blasted quite a few 'yotes with my Mini-14 in Oklahoma back in the 80s.
