When my friend’s teenage daughter was out on my driveway talking on the phone she turned around to find a coyote looking at her. It scared her silly and she ran up to the house. This is only about 50 yards from our house and our very protective blue heeler! We made sure she took the heeler with her from then on.
On a related note... the most beautiful fur coat I have ever seen was made from coyote skins that the wearer had shot while in Alaska. I have a standing offer of swapping deer for coyote skins. I have two nice little 6 point bucks who bed down next to my garden.
