The only 'encounter' I had with a coyote was years ago and early morning[about 6am] when I was out riding horseback and with my dog. Coyote yipped and barked along side of us for about 50yrds, then backed off. I figured I was close to her den or pups. The horse was a little spooked and my dog kept close by. All in all it was rather exciting..the only encounter I ever had with a coyote. Mostly they run off when they see humans.

Oh, boy, my wonderful but very wimpy Bayberry would have gone ballistic. You have a good mount there.

I had exactly the same thing happen a few months back. Heard this commotion, barking and yipping, I thought my dog was eating another dog. Walked down to take a look and a coyote was carrying on like mad at my dog, who apparently couldn't have cared less. The coyote keep it up until both me and my pooch left. I figured same as you, that she had pups nearby......
