We have them here in my town in North Georgia. They get cats and small dogs here all the time (the ones that are let out to roam free). If I see one, I’ll shoot it and ask questions later. Got a nice 10/22 with scope and silencer for it.
Pretty much open season on them here in Michigan but they’re more often heard than seen.
I don’t know about them running in pairs because when I hear them it sounds like several animals. But they also both claim they don’t interbreed with wolves at the same time there appears to be plenty of evidence that they do.
Sure they won’t attack a human. If they’ll attack a horse, they’ll attack a human.
“Curtis said, “Coyotes are really misunderstood. They are usually a really timid animal or docile animal,” and attacks on humans are rare.”
Well you and I know that’s not true. We have them in our neighborhood and they have very little fear. They will sit in the bushes and just look at you. I had one follow me home one night from walking the dog. We had one try to make a run at our Chihuahua while we were walking her. They are crossing with dogs and getting larger and less fearful. IMO coyotes have no redeeming value. If we get the chance we kill them.
