In the snowy range in Southern Wyoming we hear the coyotes all the time. Typically we have to put the dogs in the camper, especially my pug. I know for a fact that on more than one occasion they have been trying to lure the dogs out into the dark. When they get really close, I usually grab the Remington 870 and just prop it next to me. 00 Buck would stop em cold.
On a related note, I had a friend that would hunt them with his friends when he was younger. They would then sell the pelts to a local guy in Torrington, Wyoming. Anywhoo, the kid that drove had an older full sized Bronco. The shot a couple of em one night, and were driving back into town, when the guy driving slammed on the brakes and bailed. Yep, he looked in the rear view mirror and one of em was standing up. If I recall the sotry correctly, I think there were a couple of bullet holes in the truck when it was all said and done.
