Too many coyotes.
They need to be culled.
So gay....I’d be ashamed of myself to have a coyote take me down. A big one is about 50 pounds... that’s like a second grader attacking you.
I walk in coyote country every day.
I seem them now and them.
Dang things never hang long enough to give me a good shot at them. With my handgun, a rifle would be better but it is a pain to carry all the time.
We have respectful coyotes around here.
Other wise they die.
In certain times of the year, I can identify 3 to 5 different packs near my house just by listening to them howl & yowl. I had one pass within 10 yards of me during deer season as I was in a natural ground blind. It never knew I was there, just kept on the trail of whatever it was hunting.
As others have noted, coyotes are really not an issue for adult humans. Small dogs & cats are another matter since they mimic the size of the coyote’s usual food source.
No. Sightings are common because we lost the will to eradicate pests.
I had a similar experience a few years ago. I’m pretty sure she had cubs nearby and just wanted to make sure I wasn’t a threat. No
A .22-250 works well, but is not always handy to carry.
About two weeks ago I was hiking in Quicksilver Park,. (Santa Clara County) and I saw a coyote on the trail. He was kinda cool.
At least it’s not a healthy werewolf.
