"Unless they are sick, injured, or screwed around with they won't attack a human."

I am sorry to tell you that you are incorrect. Coyotes attack humans frequently in Arizona. It seems, more usually, people walking toward the coyote are attacked. But twice I have personally witnessed a single coyote running in the swail beside the road 40 feet behind an early morning jogger.

A workman walking to his car alone in a K-Mart parking lot at midnight, spotted a coyote standing under the light but between him and his car. He continued to walk toward the animal thinking it would run away. It did not. It charged him and tore his arm and face up very bad. Then it ran off.

Coyotes are just unpredictable.

Right and I looked at the page with the animal attacks. ALl but one was in states where there are no guns or much hunting. I believe that most of the attacks are because the coyotes don't fear humans and that is because they aren't hunted.
