Ambushed By A Pack Of Roaming Coyotes | Fight to survive | Retold

[@lucystrider728]

I once had a coyote come and sit near me at my campfire in Colorado. I was backpacking and he just showed up and hung out for a while, it was kind of magical. He looked old, maybe had been befriended by humans before. Maybe he liked my singing, a lot of animals do. No idea, but there he was.

I hollered and swung the pail I was carrying at them. They evaporated. They were looking for dinner but weren't quite aggressive enough and I'm thankful for that.

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

@@jameswest4819 We live in the mountains in Northern California and my husband runs several water plants up here. One of them is more rural and backs up to a creek and some woods and vineyard. One night there was a pack of coyotes when he was locking up the plant and walking back to his truck. He heard some noise in the brush by the creek and pointed his flashlight and saw eyes and then could make out a couple as they came out and started to come down to the creek and cross it (it was a small creek). He saw more eyes spread out and made out about 5 coyotes. He said his hair stood up and he slowly backed to his truck and kept the light on them. They were slowly making their way his direction. And there is no fence bordering that forest, it was all open. He was really unnerved by it. Years before he had, had several nightmares of being chased down by a pack of wolves. Kind of ironic.

Probably around the time this video was made, i was sitting in the middle of my horse pasture, just enjoying the peace, quiet and sunshine. I heard something running across the ground behind me. I turned around and there was a large coyote about 20 feet away from me! I froze. I stared at it. It stared at me. Im guessing my horses sensed something wasnt right, so they started slowly walking towards me. That blasted coyote kept eye contact with me. He didnt care about the horses walking towards me. But then, God love her, my little donkey came heehawing out of the barn and charged the coyote, scaring the poop out of him and running him off. She came back and checked on me too. Never knew coyotes to attack humans here. I could have been the first if it wasnt for my protective donkey. 😊😊😊

Maritime Canadian here and owner of multiple Great Danes. I used be cautious while hiking any distance away from my SUV with the boys but felt some degree of protection. 17 years on, I've seen road kill "Coyotes" that were much larger, having bred with dogs like German Shepherds and other larger dog breeds. The combination has created a fearless and unpredictable bred of Coyote. Now, when I hear the packs start to move at night, they will move in move than one large group. I live very rural and sometimes nightime during sweltering hot summers it the only time I can exercise my dogs but it's come to the point I dare not. I've gone out along the main road, heard one pack, then another out on the other side. I've had my own dogs briskly pick up the pace in trying to return home. They've faced ones who have zero fear of their huge size and we've had to retreat fast. They're no dumbies and have good instincts when outnumbered by a wild species. Never been a fan of killing any wild animals but have come to the conclusion that culling may be the only answer. I've heard cougars (department of natural resources deny they exist here but pictures don't lie) and they've tended to be more shy. Live in areas where bear sightings aren't rare but Coyotes are my biggest worry when out running my dogs on trails away from other people and dogs for proper training and exercise

Back then I spent a lot of time in that area, sometimes the entire day by myself hiking and exploring.

I was about a mile in and came across coyote tracks in the snow. That was a startling moment.

I lived in urban Cincinnati, just west of downtown with a lot of woods behind our house for a couple miles. Now I grew up in rural Adams County and I KNOW a coyote when I see one . One afternoon my dogs were looking out the back window, freaking out. I looked out & there about 15 ft from the window was a Coyote, scraggly grey fur, looked about 30 pounds. It's head was lowered and it was just staring at me I called the Game Warden and was told to never leave my little dogs out in the yard unattended cause coyotes were known to pack off your smaller pets; I had a Yorkie & a Daschund.

I saw a news story about this incident not long after it happened. The Canadian authorities managed to kill one or two of the animals and a necropsy was performed. They determined that the Cape Breton coyotes possessed skulls much larger than what is typical for coyotes (canis latrans). It was their conclusion that they had bred with wolves at some point in their evolutionary line. There might have been other evidence, but the skull analysis is what has stuck with me.

I agree. The coyotes have gotten bigger. I've lived in Colorado all my life and spent lots of time in Arizona and New Mexico, etc. I used to take my five dogs out to walk in the dry washes and often encountered a lone coyote. Never had a problem, but I am well aware of their behavior and the risks! There is no stray dog and cat problem in Tucson because the coyotes are very numerous in the city. At my home of 50+ years in the foothills, we used to have large choruses from coyotes very frequently. Now there are very few. However, the coyotes who remain have indeed become much bigger. I was able to chase one away from my property one day that had been around a few times. He was the largest I've ever seen and I did not want him hanging around! Haven't heard or seen one up here for some time, but they have become a real risk for children in the Denver areas.

[@oldhillbillybuckkowalski]

I've been hunting in areas with large numbers of coyotes for about 35 years, Eastern New Mexico, and SE of San Antonio Texas. In New Mexico the Coyotes were much larger but tended to be very skittish if humans were around, they were hunted heavily and it showed. After I left the Army I settled about 35 miles SE of San Antonio, out in the country. We had a huge coyote population, an influx of urban folks moving to the country, and a lack of people hunting coyotes. It reached the point where I would occasionally have them on my front porch if my wife forgot to bring the dog bowls inside, and there were a few cases of them stalking kids. I had a few very close run ins with them at night when hunting feral hogs, close enough that I could hear their footsteps coming down the deer or hog trail I was posted up on, and when they realized I was there they often would growl, and try to come around each side of me. It wasn't until a concerted effort was made to stop people from putting food out for them, and a large number of us began hunting them with regularity that they regained the normal fear of humans.

@@rrtds9378 Not as far as I know. I lived out in the rural county most of my life here on the Peninsula and in fact on a 80 acre farm for many years. That's when we were just starting out as a family. 2 of 3 of our kids were born there. We saw coyotes often enough as they'll try to take a newborn calf or colt or whatever and they'll take chickens. But once they learned they couldn't get ours they didn't come up by the house. Course it helped that we had a black lab that was very protective of us. She wouldn't let any animals nor people near the farm and our kids and animals. The coyotes back then were much more timid. They didn't want to be seen. But these days with so many people here they've gotten used to people. And so many people who moved here from some big city always want to feed the wild animals. Raccoons, rabbits, otters, coyotes, deer..and it isn't good in any way at all. Back in the 60's 2 grizzly bears attacked and killed 2 young women and injured others one summer in Glacier Nat Park in Montana cuz so many people were feeding them. A couple of lodges had dumps where the bears would feed and people would stand around with their kids trying to take pics! They had to kill the 2 that killed the girls. One had broken glass jammed in it's gums and between it's teeth from eating out of garbage cans and dumps at lodges. People don't understand wild animals. Once they associate food with humans they lose fear. They're in survival mode every day. Food is a priority. I know coyotes have attacked people and they do work together as a team though you may see them solo at times. But I dont know of any attacks here. At Ft. Worden I worked cleaning units and my boss used to take her big dog up on the hill for a walk after lunch each day and coyotes were all around them sneaking up on her and her dog.

Coyotes were a western desert/prairie dweller, they may have spread across the continent on their own over time. Being a oddity many were run down on horses, captured alive and sent back east to appease the "cityslickers" curiosity about the creatures of the west. Teddy Roosevelt caught and sent many back to NY when he went west to ND and established his cattle ranch near Medora. Many escaped captivity as he noted in his writings but he didn't think they could survive in a woodland setting.

[@oldhillbillybuckkowalski]

The spread of coyotes into northern and eastern areas they were not known to inhabit previously coincides with the eradication of wolves from those areas. Wolves are an apex predator in any environment they happen to inhabit, coyotes on the other hand are not naturally apex predators in most environments, and wolves will run coyotes down and kill them to eliminate any competition for resources (although it's not unheard of for a lone male wolf to breed with a female coyote if he encounters her while she's in season). The wolves were the primary population control among coyote populations as apex predators tend to be what keeps the numbers of prey and competing species of predators in check. Lose the apex predators and the populations of both prey and competing predators skyrocket. When populations skyrocket these animals will spread into new territories and if those new territories also lack any apex predators to control numbers they will continue to grow in number and range. This was initially kept somewhat in check as prior to the greet depression and WWII most Americans lived in rural areas where farming and hunting were common but as people moved to urban areas And that began to diminish coyote populations spread .

And somewhere along the line they decided it was time to put a stop to him. For the health of the pack. Just a different view. A possibility.

I got rabies shots about 12 years ago. I also got shots at the bite sites and in my hip. I had to go back weekly for another shot but the only one that really hurt was the last one. That was excruciating. They told me I could go back once a year for a booster and never have to go through the series again. I never did that. I’m sure people that work with wildlife do that every year.

Was a Pro Trapper in Wy. Have killed in excess of 10,000 Coyotes have had 2 of them for pets. I like them and respect them. I don't believe this story! Cheers

Half of my pants are damaged just as bad or worse than those! From loading rocks and firewood. Mostly from hiking through thorny woods. One tree around here has thorns 3-4inches long! (Ruined every rain suit I've owned and few pairs of rain boots!)

Those are little half-starved yippers living in Wyoming. Rarely reach 25 pounds.

I was out walking in our subdivision in southeast Michigan in Ypsilanti. At the time our sub had a lot of woods on three sides. I saw what I at first thought was a dog run past in my peripheral vision. I turned to face it and it was a coyote. Fortunately he didn’t come closer but I was carrying just in case.

First off your actor shoots the rifle right handed then left handed, then has the quiver upside down on that old compound bow, and doesn’t look through the string peep when he shoots it. It’s hard to take this reenactment account of a coyote attack seriously when there is zero attention to detail on basic hunting equipment and the use of it.

You should be able to shoot rifle from either side. Maybe that’s more for tactical shooting, but I’d think hunters would want to be able to utilize a wider array of brace positions.

The hunter becomes the hunted, seems fair.
