- Coyotes are some of the most fascinating creatures on this planet. In Native American folklore, the coyote is usually depicted as a trickster who uses deception and humor to rebel against social norms. In pop culture, the most famous depiction of coyotes was in the popular '50s animated cartoon "Road Runner and Coyote Show," in which the coyote tries to lure the roadrunner into traps to no avail.
In reality, coyotes are animals who have managed to survive in urban environments alongside humans. Because they are still wild animals what should we do if we encounter a coyote while taking a stroll in the park?

What animal advice can you share with us?
I cannot really use steel leg hold traps since we have a barn cat that roams. So...I keep a 9mm carbine handy. They are a predator that will injury or kill livestock.Therefore it is my duty to make sure they know that they are not welcome in my area.
Carry a gun & pepper spray.
Just have a gun and know how to use it
@Are See
Works every time I hunt coyotes
@Are See the gunshot would scare it off
unless its rabbid
Was walking through a park with a ravine to get home from work one night. I looked behind me, and saw a coyote walking towards me. It got close and stopped. I took a few steps back twice. Each time, it walked towards me and stopped when I stopped. Staring at me. I put my coffee down infront of me, and backed away from it. It walked to the coffee, sniffed it, then picked it up with its mouth, and walked away to the ravine. Little bastard robbed me for my coffee.
You should have raised your voice and stamped
He was just curious to see why humans liked this drink so much. Won't be long before he shares it with his friends and you see coyotes in your local Starbucks.
You should of pulled your “ One eyed Willy “ out and marked your territory 😉🐕💩
@Babba Ganoush / Quite the opposite - that cup of coffee “saved” Shane, as the coyote’s interest shifted from him to the coffee.
Lol even coyotes like Starbucks
When i was 13yrs old I encountered a coyote on a trail in the woods. I was alone. We stood about 10ft from each other. I stepped back a few feet when it stepped a few feet towards me. Then after about a 10-15 sec stare down it ran away. Will never forget that and consider myself lucky to this day. This was back in 1993.
People do have a Godly association with nature
But one must carry a gun when walking in the bush in case of serious attack by both animals and human predators
You 100% correct .
No permits should be required at all , but devils are able to enact devil laws .
Hiking without a gun is to my mind suicide .

You are right. I carry bear spray when I'm riding my road bike and when I cut the grass. I have seen both black bear and cougar on my property over the years, we respect each other. Man is the only real living monster on earth today killing for fun. Animals good, man, some are good most are not.
I am 13 and I just ran into one on my road while I was taking my dog out and I started it down with a flashlight and I think I hurt its eyes so I got my dog to come and I backed up inside my house. Wierd experience. I dont know why it was in the middle of my road. I dont live in the country. I live in a somewhat suburban area with each house being 10 15 meters apart. I have no clue why it was there.
I had a similar situation with a wolf. Driving home, a wolf with a cub crossed the road in front of me. Talk about fascinating. Happened in '98.
Correction: If you drop an anvil on the coyote, you will prevail.
Mee-meep!
Lmao
If you're strong enough to throw an anvil to drop on a coyotes head, I think you don't have to worry about them xD
Im crying
@@Verundanir Might need to when no longer operating the crane.
They are afraid of humans for the most part. They will just run away if they see you. Just don't let your cat's or dogs out by themselves. If a coyote doesn't run away and tries to confront you it has rabies or its somehow become too used to human contact.
Yes, but it's the "least" part that you may have to deal with.
Hmm wild animals do not dismiss them.
@Allytoot Sieroll shoot it
I think it depends on the area the coyotes are in. In the urban environment I've seen them very brazen and emboldened, in wide open wild spaces where they are hunted and there are bounties on them, you'd be lucky to get in 100yds of them as they run away at the first sight of humans.
@@ciro9951 id rather not, thank you
the advice given in the vid does work from experience. i encountered a family of coyotes while out walking at night in a park in Thornhill Ontario i saw 3 cubs by by some bushes away from the path when the mother in an attempt to distract my attention away from her cubs approached me in a growling and menacing way. i flung my coat out in front of me which i had draped over my arm and let out a very primal noise akin to a warhammer orc WAAAAgh . and sure enough caused the mother to flee. I walked back home taking a different direction from that which the mother and cubs took
wolves kill coyotes. It was when we eradicated the wolves that Old Man Coyote spread across the continent.
@@moonlitme maybe im not understanding what you meant with your comment so forgive me, but there are still plenty of wild wolves in Ontario (Canada) might be why it took refuse there kinda bordered a wooded area .To give you an idea, where my back yard fence ended, there are rail road tracks, so there is a section, on either side of the tracks, thats fenced off, so has lots of trees, and shrubs it forms, a kinda "natures highway" devoid of humans other then the occasional train .I witnessed deer traveling along the tracks regularly make stops in my yard to help themselves to the 7 fruit trees that were there.
I can hear them going crazy in my woods at this moment...
Yeah same whenever I go outside at night for a sesh🍃I always here them it’s kinda cool tho
I was searching coyote sounds when this popped up. Turns out I have 6 behind my tree line on an open field yipping like crazy

Bro me and my friend got surrounded by a pack of them we dipped hella fasy

I'll leave them alone if they return the favor, but an aggressive coyote dies right there. Harsh, I know, but there are many children in the area and an aggressive predator cannot be tolerated.
I like your way of thinking mr williams.
Agreed
My anvil stays in my pocket , my dog is to small to scratch for herself , although she thinks she is eight feet tall and bullet proof ...
I’d kill even if not aggressive
I live in New Mexico, we see them all the time. I leave them alone, they leave me alone.
I have a cattle dog he loves killing them he grabs them by the throat an kills them
Coyotes kill people trying to cross the boarder. Look it up. They don't report them.
Shoot it.
@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. If they are in a pack they might well, they can take down pretty large animals. It depends how hungry they are and what other food options exist.
@@mikevalazquez1459 yeah sure he does...wild vs domestic I'll place my bet on wild coyote
great to hear sensible non-fear-mongering advice.
I grew up out on a cattle ranch them coyotes they dont like even getting close to you
billie winn exactly. I was playing out in my backyard, and I was walking and a coyote jumped out of a bush and ran so far away from me... probably to it’s young or something... but still they get startled fast
@Liverpool 11 / So very true! Unfortunately urban coyotes are extremely intelligent, and they very quickly adopted their behavior to the new surroundings. I watched a coyote sit and wait for the red light to turn green before it crossed a very busy street. The shouting, stamping your feet, etc., in most cases does not help.
@@XyzXyz-mm9vq I believe the difference is urban coyotes are not hunted and do not associate humans with the sort of danger they do in areas where they are actively hunted to protect livestock etc. and of course there are bounties paid on coyotes in some areas. In the urban environment they get used to seeing humans who do little to appear a threat to them and often have tasty snacks in the form of dogs and cats.
@@fiveowaf454 I live in the mountains. My closest neighbors are gun clubs snd hunting camps, gotta take several sketchy dirt roads (impassible in winter), etc. They’re sure as shit hunted here and have been consistently, but they still stalk folks all the time.
I got used to their yipping and howling somewhere too close for comfort, until I had an incident with an entire damn pack that wanted the cat I took care of. I’d only ever seen that many together once before, usually I only spot two. They were relentless, I’ll never underestimate them again.
@@drnogueiras8783 Sounds like they need to learn an extra lesson about how humans can be the apex predator, before someone gets hurt. If I was having that problem, I'd make sure next time they got to clearly see I am not prey by how many of their own lose their lives. There has to be a reason for their behavior, is someone feeding them?, they are going to be bolder in a pack, but all the ones I see around here run, even when they are a good distance away when they see us.
Thank you for your accurate coverage of the coyote, they are not all the same.
The Eastern Coyote has all the cunning of the Western, but 80% of the size of the Grey Wolf.
This enabled the Eastern to devastate the deer, hare, and grouse populations.
al gow in the spring here in Frederick Md, when I would see a Doe she would always have 1-3 fawns with her. In the last couple of years it is not odd to see a Doe in the Spring and not a Fawn in site. I know a Game Warden and he says that the Coyote is thinning out the Deer population in this part of the country. I bet the automobile insurance companies are loving it
And mankind devastated the rest of deer grouse and hare. Funny because excuse for deer hunting is to thin the herd so they wont starve right? So there arent enough deer now because of coyotes? Guess time you found yourself a new hobby.
Its the fucking Law of nature
Not exactly on topic, but my canine companion of the past eleven years has been a hybrid coydog and she is the sweetest, smartest, most loving and gentle companion I've ever had the pleasure of being with. What I particularly like about her is that she doesn't lick faces, sniffing them instead, so I can really snuggle her in a way that my previous companions wouldn't let me because they always wanted to lick my face when I got that close to theirs. I think perhaps that is what I like best about her as it just makes her that much more enjoyable to be with. But I don't think the breed is for everyone as she definitely has a personality that I don't think would allow her to put up with an abusive human companion...I think she'd readily leave such a situation as she's very independent minded. I feel exceptionally fortunate and blessed to have her in my life and will miss her terribly when that final day comes.
I live in a rural area of AZ and I walk in big open fields with my shepherds. I've watched how other coyotes talk to each other to "move" them out of their territory, or simply to let them know they are passing through and they mean no harm. They make a lot of these short clipped barks then it tapers off into a short high pitched howl. Now when I walk, simply to let them know me and my dogs are passing through I mimic what I've heard. It totally works. I've seen coyotes off in the distance, "called" out to them, they look at me, tilt their heads and take off. I've seen others come out of bushy groves where they den just to see what's going on but they never bother us. Coyotes are small and very skittish, as long as you make it clear you don't want to hurt them or mess with their den area, and that you are too much trouble to mess with, they are desert friends :)
They make nice coats

My dog and I chase coyotes. My dog is a 110lb husky/ malamute mix. He looks more like a grey wolf than a dog. He chases coyotes for fun. When they howl, he howls with them.
My Samoyed-Chow used to run with them too. He would play with them, and run off into the woods with them. Never came back with fur pulled out, or blood or saliva on his coat, never heard him barking in a distressed manner. They never tried to get him. I HAVE seen them work smaller dogs though.
I have 2 small dogs (JRT and Morkie) and just last week we came face to face with a coyote while walking in the early morning hours. I had coyote spray in my hand and my finger ready on the trigger from the moment i walked out my front door, however I was so startled upon the confrontation that i struggled to spray it and the stream needed precision aim, which i wasnt capable of at the time. I started shouting as loud as I could "GET AWAY GET AWAY!" which it truly didn't seem phased by, as it kept trying to grab one of my dogs. Luckily we were right in front of a house and I was able to walk backwards until we were on the porch, so i never turned my back to the coyote. It was a small enclosed porch which was another blessing because it tried to find another way to get to us. I persisted in shouting at it and after about 30 seconds it reluctantly took off. I was absolutely shook and terrified to make the rest of the way home but eventually got home safely. Very scary indeed.
My community is known to have coyotes roaming around during the very early morning hours. I've encountered a few coming or going from my car and I always carry a sharpened wood cane with a bent nail at the end. Most of the time when they see me, they wander off.
People should not have to live like that.
My house is by the woods in West Michigan, and we encounter many animals like deer and turkey, but I will never forget the time I had my first encounter with a coyote. I was around 4 years old playing in my front yard. Most of the details are hazy, but I remember looking up from whatever I was doing, and there it was. A coyote 10 feet away. Though I remember the animal being black, I'm not sure if it was, as it's pretty rare to see a black coyote.
Could have been a wolf!
Could have been a black German Shepherd.
Several years ago, late in the season, I camped at a state park in Wisconsin. I was on my motorcycle, so I had my tent. It was late by the time I put it up, so I went to sleep quickly. A little after 3am I was awoken by howling coyotes, and they sounded close. I propped myself up on my elbows and turned my head to figure out their direction. The closest was on the end where my head lays, another was somewhere on the other end and to the right, while a third was off in the distance and to the left. I was surrounded and listening to the call of the wild. I thought that was pretty cool so I went back to sleep with a smile on my face. I guess they just went about their business and I got a great memory to look back on.
came across a coyote just the other day while walking my Greyhound, that tiny little Coyote was like wtf and ran like hell. I live in AZ and we have loads of coyote's. ps greyhounds are used to hunt them ( not mine though, he is a free loader and I love him !
You could have him work at a race track if he runs fast enough.
@@hydrolito He is a retired racer
They look like they're small enough that you could fight one off, even hurt it, if it attacked you.
When you live in Coyote country you carry at least a pistol. That is why Alaska doesn't even have a carry license and most people carry a 44. Because Bears fish in town, in the summer, and Moose are around all year long. I've had them walk by while I was waiting for a bus. This is why most people have a gun for protection.
Tonight I went to an urban park to enjoy the weather and a near full moon with my wife and kid. We were the only ones there. As we sat on a bench we noticed a silhouette of a coyote that ran from our left to the right and then back towards the left. It was about 35 meters away. We immediately got up and I kept facing where the coyote was, now not seen under the cover of darkness, and we headed straight to the car which was fairly close by. I kept watch as we went towards the car. As I still kept watch and my family was getting in the car, it came out from the dark and ran almost right towards us. I kept facing it and stomped my feet a few times and it ran about 7 meters in front of me and back into some bushed area in the dark. I quickly got in the car once I knew the family was secure and that was that. But I'm convinced this coyote was ready and considering to attack us as it stalked us and ran towards us. It was not shy and was deterred only because we did not run away buy rather faced it. You can tell this thing was in attack mode.
Maybe because of the kids were running to the car? They look at them as prey. Glad you safely escaped. There are lots more coyotes around where I live than there used to be. I'm always looking out while walking my dogs.
As soon as you take that first step back to run, that’s where the mistakes start. That’s kind of like prey in the wild. They usually don’t start running if they see a predator like most believe, but rather keep extremely close watch as some of the group backs off.
They only run when they are surprised or when they are made a sudden move towards.
People are too "soft" nowadays. These wild animals need to be made to live in their natural habitat, not in areas where people live. The are dangerous but the media seems to downplay the danger.
Coyote shredded my first dog in the back yard. Really tough way to lose a pet.
Sorry man. Whenever I hear yotes I instantly get our dogs in the house. I don't want them to end up dead.
Never heard a thing, my poor little kitty was killed 2 days ago, when I got the call from a neighbor and went to get him, I was not prepared for what I found. My dead little kitty with his body gone from the chest down. I can't stop crying
Devastating
They should be controlled. It is not fair to pets and people shouldn't have to live in fear or feel that their pets cannot go outside. It has gotten ridiculous in many parts of the country.
I go in the woods behind my house in the woods and play my harmonica. They come in sometimes to see what's making the noise. We have bonded because they like the music. Don't worry about the coyote, it's the two leg vermin called man that's dangerous.
I too walk in the woods near my house with my harmonica. And I have seen lots of coyotes, though usually only at night. Cheers!
You're right the two legged vermin is the most dangerous being in the world.
I have seen coyotes roaming around my neighborhood during the night.
Unless it's rabid like a Liberal.
@@grassroot011 you mean like your draft dodging cowardly president tRump.
Coyotes are common in our backyards here in the foothills of the Rockies in Littleton/Columbine, as are rabbits, prairie dogs, raccoons, elk, owls, eagles and hawks. We exercise reasonable prudence with our children and pets when a coyote is spotted, but any sighting is generally quite fleeting as these animals are very squeamish and shy, running away at the slightest noise.
I'm not too worried about coyotes. And they're usually not to worried about me. If that dynamic changes its usually a good indicator that something very inorganic is occurring.
In AZ there's no tag limit or license required, and you can get 100$ a pop on pelts. Discharging a firearm in the city is a tricky game, though.
Haha, I came here just to see what coyote is. Thanks for the info and tips on how to avoid it.
I live in the country. Coyotes hunt in packs. They will take and eat varmints before pets & children. The pack in my neighborhood keeps the varmint population down and often take the time to tease my dogs. They will not get into the fenced yard they stand outside and howl and my dogs howl back from inside the fence several nights a week this has been happening for years. They have a huge smorgasboard of mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, possums, skunks, raccoons etc. it is to me just noteable behavior that they stop to tease my dogs for fun regularly.
I had 2 coyotes stalk me one night while I was jogging in a rural area. Having no weapon except a flashlight, I luckily grabbed a solid stick I found on the ground maybe 3 feet long and an inch diameter. One coyote pursued me directly while the other one flanked around. I yelled as loud as I could and ran towards the one directly approaching waving the flashlight and smacking the stick on the road. The coyote running towards me gave up its pursuit and ran off and the flanking coyote took off as well. I didn't stop running until I got back and kept singing loud cadences all the way back (remembering my Army days) thinking the sound may bother them. It worked, fortunately but wouldn't want to encounter them again. I started carrying pepper spray but never encountered them again (though I did use to on loose dogs a couple of times). I think the stick works because I kept an angry German Shepherd from biting me one time using that method. Also make yourself appear bigger making swooping motions with your arms. That along with acting with like aggression probably made the coyotes' instincts to not attack out of fear of being injured.
I had something similar happen a couple of weeks ago. My stupid little sweet terrier was with me, and we were out in the woods hiking. For once, I didn't have my big hiking stick (that's not happening again), and picked up a not sufficiently sturdy stick because that's what was there. Never had seen coyotes before, not in the wild, but have found deer legs and things like that hiking. I growled at my dog to 'come here' (which she ignored), and noticed my voice was weird and growly. Totally wasn't intentional. The second coyote looked at me very much like "not impressed" and walked on. They must be nearby when hiking a lot more that I know, and I just don't see them. Next time something like that happens I'll take your advice and be louder.
@@andromedaspark2241 the small dog probably attracted them, too. Presuming you hike in the daytime? It's not usual to see them during daylight except early dawn or evening twilight unless you were way in. I'll tell you when I go hiking into forests I carry a gun. Myself I bring a .357 mag because it will work on bears, too but bring a gun you can handle. 9mm works for most people but good grip counts so it won't jam. Maybe consider a revolver - can't beat their reliability. Anyway, ALL predator type animals in lower 48 you want to act aggressive and loud always facing them - grizzlies are different exception. Hopefully you won't encounter them
Or, just attack the coyote.
I used to have coyotes amble through my land acting as if they owned the place, I then adopted a Mackenzie wolf- hybrid. The coyote problem quickly ended.
I encountered one today. We had a heavy snowfall overnight, so I woke up this morning to go shovel it. I had my headphones in and was listening to music, minding my own business while I shovelled. Suddenly, I turn around and then, there he is. Im about ten feet away from a coyote just staring at me in my driveway. I live near the woods, so that explains where he came from. But for about ten seconds me and this coyote just stared at eachother. I slowly walked around the house to where he couldnt see me, than ran as fast as I could inside. The coyote didnt follow me or anything, he was just vibing. But yeah, I didnt really know what to do, as it was my first ever encounter. Nevertheless; a cool story.
I met a trio of coyotes on my walk back from school I was so scared 😵 but then this man helped me by distracting the coyotes with his car thank u so much kind stranger 🙏
I grew up with these coward's. My cousin caught a pup in a large coon trap in 1989. The pup was tiny, about 4 months old. He took it home and tried to tame it. After several months the pup called lucky would walk with him around the house and out in the backyard. Finally after two plus years the pup, lucky would play with the other two dogs he grew up with. My cousin lives on a 2770 acre cattle farm but unfortunately his closest neighbor found out about the coyote and told authorities. My cousin explained that the pup was to small to release and would starve to death. The coyote had been treated like a dog and had all shots including rabies. The authorities took the coyote to a zoo where he had little room to play and no company. After three months the zoo moved him to another zoo with lots of room and plenty of play mates and proper health care. I was told he died in 2007 of old age. Getting back to coyotes just chase them away. If they have rabies use your head and grab a bat.
I saw a Coyote last year- or rather, I thought it was a coyote. The animal, which was about the size of a small dog, ran right out of my neighborhood past me as I was waiting for my bus to arrive. There was a group of turkeys on the other side and it walked in their direction, but it decided to ignore the birds and just went right on past them. It was shocking, but no one was harmed.
Uhmmm they always avoid confrontation.. sooo yea , it’s rare if a coyote attacks you. If it attacks it might have rabies.
@Layla Reeves
Coyotes, in my experience, are scarier than mountain lions. Coyotes are fearless for their size, and some poor woman in Canada was killed by one when she was hiking. The indians called them "trickster spirits" for good reason, they are amazing problem solvers and size up weakness and probability more than any other wild animal in the US. Just my opinion, but since my mom was half native American, I believe in the shape shifting nature of them. Not physically, but how interactions with them could be neutral, or very bad. I do not think they are evil or anything, just good survivors....
@Layla Reeves
I'm glad your dog was ok!!
Javi Chavez - Always? Please stop playing at the kids zoo.
christine paris they are very fearless , most of the time they try escape and avoid. Yes when with a pet they can attack , but unless it’s a small dog they probably won’t win the fight , so they will try escape
@@JC-zj2is
Google coyote attacks. I did, and its eye opening. There are many unprovoked attacks, more than I thought, they have learned that humans generate easy picking in garbage and unsupervised children. Also they have learned that humans are relatively weak. They pass on this knowledge generationally. The fearful, skulking creatures of the past are now at ease prowling large cities for plenty of opportunities.
The animal shelter unknowingly has a half German Shepherd half coyote. I'm adopting it😂
There is a coyote in my neighborhood that frequents my usual fishing spot and stalks me regularly. I never realized they were actually dangerous, and figured it would never full on attack me but there have been times where he follows me like a dog only a couple feet away and I have to walk backwards staring at him all the way to the exit by the main road. Very creepy. First time I encountered him I screamed stopped my feet and even tried charging at him but he was never afraid it would just run right back as soon as I started walking in the other direction. I didn’t find out until later that the thing was basically sizing me up for a meal. Once again I like my chances because I never really thought of these things as being THAT dangerous and I carry knives when I’m fishing. Idk man. Would love to hear if anyone has any similar stories. Every time I turn around the thing would get closer and closer it was like he was teleporting. So the advice they given this video is 100% correct do not turn your back just walk backwards and stare at it
Fish for the coyote. Throw him a fish.
My cousin lives in front of a park and theres a family of coyotes that live there, and they're pretty chill I see them all the time. I remember walking through the park at night and I turned around and there were two of them laying on the floor staring at me. I ran to the car as fast as I could and when I looked back they were in the same spot still looking at me. I soon realized that they're harmless, well THOSE coyotes are harmless. It's probably because they see people everyday.
Coyotes are basically harmless they just look like they are dangerous
You are very intelligent, you will probably once in a blue moon find a wolf and Coyote fan as I.🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
We have coyotes, foxes, Fisher Cats and groundhogs in our yard all the time in rural CT. They've been stealing pears that have fallen on the ground in our back yard lately.
Me to in Rhode Island . They stay out of the garbage but eat the apples and pears that fall on the ground . They love the neighborhood cats from up the road .
Sounds kinda similar to Western NY. Fishers are the biggest threat that's been acknowledged around here. But almost every hunter I know has a story about seeing a mountain lion or bear around here (which is aren't supposed to be here). My parents swear they saw a mt lion about 3 months ago. And my neighbor up the road said he had a wolf on his back porch. I also saw a wild porcupine for the first time about 4 weeks ago.
I've gotten very close to coyotes in the middle of the dark woods in Connecticut. These guys are in every single state from the deserts to snowy New England.
I currently watching this video while there a coyote out side my tent
Coyote: Bathe in meat juice. Climb onto a giant white plate. Don't try to run away from us. I mean, the pack of coyotes outside your tent.
They're always cool to hear until they get close. I personally hate them, but still like to hear them from a safe vantage point.
they are super geniuses

About two years ago when I went to SF State I was outside on campus at around midnight and a coyote just ran out right in front of me, about 3 feet away. It stopped and we just looked at each other for a few seconds. It eventually went on its way and me being sleep deprived didn't realize how terrifying the situation was until the next morning.

I work on a cattle ranch for a few years back in the day and we kept two donkeys to fend off coyotes from attacking the cows. It turns out for some reason donkeys and coyotes like natural enemies donkey coyote so much there they see one it was Chase it down and kick it to death no joke f****** crazy!!!
Joshua Humes donkeys are much like dogs in that, if put in with a herd of other animals, they'll see those animals as "their herd" & will defend them like family. Watching sheep & sheepdogs together is amazing at how they see each other as family.
Yeah? Great story!
Btw donkeys fend off mountain lions as well. My friend has a ranch in California and his donkey has chased pumas away from the property. It’s so bizarre but amazing at the same time.
Yea. My ma was talking about getting a donkey. Told me that when she was a kid one of my grandma's donkeys killed a yote who got too close
Don't run away. Run at it. Coyotes are very smart, and are usually sizing you up to see if you are easy prey. Surprise, you're the predator and he's the prey. Don't charge an entire den, but less than 4 coyotes won't challenge an aggressive human. Remember they weigh 30 lbs. If you run at them with blood in your eyes, they will run faster than you've ever seen a creature run. And its good to teach your local coyotes to be afraid of humans
You are so right! Sage advice! Thanks!
“ run awaeeeeyy” 😂
I live in a place where there are a lot of trails in the hills around me. Even the cdt is nearby and I hike that from time to time. some trails are remote and spooky but I get my thrills that way. I am always cautious and will frequently stop and look around. I carry my taurus 9mm ,my walking stick a 4 ft piece of closet rod and just in case I wind up on the ground, my k-bar. no problems yet but I'm always ready.
I had a stare down contest with a coyote once. I was out riding my bike and I stopped to rest, and noticed it across the road from me standing at the end of someone’s driveway. At first I thought it was a dog so I just stared at it and it stared back at me, for about thirty seconds. Then it turned and ran off and I realized it was a coyote! Didn’t know coyotes attacked people until I saw this.
This is funny because I live in northern Nevada where coyotes are just a bunch a 35 pound rats essentially that Eat pests and if you don't want Them around you can simply look at them or just give them the go on and get
@timmybmn why is a 3 year old outside by themselves long enough to get swooped up? Parenting issue not wild life's fault
Same here in the hidesert of socal..They are big ole pussies..I still like to here them howling off in the distance at night though.
Yeah I live in northern Nevada and you are wrong. They routinely enter yards to attack animals and often attack dogs on leashes while the owner is standing right there.
@@jeffreymorreale7223 or it an get took out my pits 🤷🏾♂️
I live in northern Nevada also up in the mountains 🏔 that’s why I’m here are they pretty harmless? We seem to have a lot
I had a couple encounters with coyotes in a couple neighborhoods. I was both about 15 feet away from them when they came out of nowhere. the first one took one quick look at me and looked the other way. The second one didnt see me. I stood my ground both times and slowly backed away.
its like the size of fox
@@dontsubscribetome3262yotes average 35 pounds. They are not very big.
I saw a coyote running in my neighborhood in early morning, and I knew it was not a dog as it went around a corner like an expert motorcycle rider would, on a tilt, fast and without losing its stride. I have never seen any dog run with that much agility and grace.
If it wasn't for his skills at running like an expert, would you have thought it was a dog?
@@maxmarc1000 There was something unmistakable about the coyote's appearance even before he went around the corner, you could tell at once seeing him (or her) before the corner, and then seeing him go around that corner was something not you would never see with a dog .. what balance!
@@maple1255 oh ok. Based on your description of how the coyote ran, at first it seemed as if that was what made it different from a dog. Tbh, I have not met an aggressive coyote, but based on appearance, I can't help but feel like they give off dog vibes in some way. Same goes for wolves, dingos, and jackals. 🤷
@@maxmarc1000 I agree with you that coyotes, wolves dingos and jackals are have a dog vibe, they are like cousins
Dutch from the movie predator said “if it bleeds we can kill it “
Absolutely you must try to dominate a coyote! Stare them down or charge them and they will back off. Coyotes are generally cowards. They attack if an animal shows weakness but coyotes rarely attack humans. I was jogging at night a couple of years back, when I looked back and saw a coyote chasing me. It had seen me running and did the predator thing and gave chase. I turned around and charged the coyote trying to make the best growling sounds I could make. The coyote tucked it's tail between it's legs and ran away. I chased it for quite a ways until I was sure it was out of sight but I kept looking behind me when I continued my jog just to see if it had come back. Never saw it again.
Good job .
I bet when the coyotes get together they call you a coward too
I live in Indiana and we can hear the coyotes in the woods a half acre behind our house every night. We cant let our dogs out alone. 2 dogs up the road already got killed this past summer.
Same situation from a fellow Hooiser
LOVE seeing coyotes when I go hiking in AZ. I have lots of photos of coyotes
Me: If I saw a coyote, I'd try to pet it.
Mercury News: Not so fast!
Coyotes visit our farm frequently. We go on with what we are doing and they go on with what they are doing.
Paint a picture of a train tunnel on a rock then escape through the tunnel, when the coyote attempts to follow it will just smash its head on the rock.
I swear I seen that in a cartoon
I would put an "animal rights" activist between me and a coyote.
I don't know. We usually just stare at each other for 30 or so seconds then go, each on his way.
I've only seen a couple in my Minneapolis neighborhood in 14 years, but when I lived in suburban Denver, I used to encounter coyote frequently - the foothills park where I walked almost daily had a resident herd of deer, and the coyote tested them virtually every day. I never had an issue. If the coyote was close, I just stood my ground and made eye contact. Eventually, the animal trotted away. I once encountered a trio of adults while walking alone, and the same tactic worked just fine. I stood my ground, made eye contact with what appeared to be the dominant animal, and after what felt like 30 seconds of staring at each other, all three of them turned at the same time and trotted away.
A coyote came into my friend back yard when I was over at his house and he had his 2 rots and a German Shepard in his back yard and they killed the coyote.
We occasionally get coyotes in the neighborhood. If any one of them was blatantly hanging around, I'd be going after it with a garden fork! They get trained by human behavior and if you back away every time, they just become more emboldened. Deal with the problem early, before a kid gets injured.
I got coyotes in my backyard and they come to my house sometimes
We have them here pretty bad they run thru the streets 6 deep
But what do you expect when you intrude on there home
I was visiting Pasadena, CA. While driving in the hilly suburban neighborhods, a coyote calmly crossed the street, stopped in front of the car. It was a nice looking animal.
I stopped because a man was gardening nearby with his back turned away from me. I just waited until the coyote strolled away from the man. It was totally unconcerned by the car.
Should have ran the coyote over.
Wait for a few seconds and the coyote will back down. If he doesn’t he may have rabies.
I always have a five shot .22 mag in my pocket, the first round is snake shot and the remaining four rounds are hollow points.
Whether it’s a coyote or raccoon or opossum, if they don’t back down and retreat they will probably die right there. I don’t want any sick or aggressive animals on my property around my grandchildren
bro yesterday i was walking in the woods with my dog (large wolf dog) definitely larger then the coyote and i just happened to turn around and seen a fluffy tail moving around, my dog then turned around and i seen it walking, then my dog started pulling, i began to run because my dog had spooked it and i wanted a video of it, LUCKLY i got a small clip filmed of the coyote quickly walking away. he was straight up following us right behind my back about 20 feet away. i have 5 other dogs that follow me and my dog on walks when were on the side walks so honestly i thought it was kind cute, and cool! at night especially in the summer we can hear packs of them. im so looking forward to coming across another one, hopefully i can get closer. ive had quite the bit of run ins with territorial dogs (much larger ones) i carry pepper spray with me because ive been bit in the leg a couple of times. so im pretty good at scaring dogs away
If you have ACME anything on you then the coyote is pretty well screwed. BEEP! BEEP! that works too.
For anybody that finds this remarkable, it is well known that coyotes just like their tainted cousin the wolf, are extremely shy creatures. If they are ever bold is usually because there is a food source nearby. They are merely looking for dinner because they have to hunt for their food to survive.
And that food source could be in your garbage can.
i live right by the mountains so i get a bunch of coyotes in my area
Same, I've only seen 1 in daylight and 2 of them at night heading towards people's houses
Same why I’m here
People scared of coyotes always cracks me up but i guess i kind of understand if you grew up in town not around them
Why
And then there’s me... who runs around with the coyotes in my backyard...
My malinois chased 5 pups behind my house i thought he was done for. Luckily they were pups because he was unscathed. Then i heard the parents howling and calling as we turned to go home from two different angles. It’s mating season. They have been hunting us for days now. Coyotes are very smart
I’ve been attacked by a few coyotes defending my chickens and I’ve killed a few too
I saw a coyote tonight when I was out walking. He stopped and stared right at me for a few seconds. Then, he walked away & ran into the bushes. He didn’t seem to want to attack me. I stared right back at him when he was staring at me, & I didn’t turn my back or try to run away. I think he knew I was a human & didn’t seem much interested.
The coyote had other sources of food that won't put up as much of a fight.
I chased off three big coyotes one night at about 4am. I was in my pjs, holding a tomahawk. Northeastern TN
@Mungo Munro yes they do you mong, typically no more than 4 in a group mind you but they do travel together on occasion
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote#/media/File:Pack_of_coyotes_on_snow.jpg
@Mungo Munro Yes they do
I had a coyote in front of my house when I came home once. I jumped out of my car and yelled at it and chased it. I live in a neighborhood with small children and pets. I don't know what made me act that way. I just did.
Seen plenty of coyotes out hiking in CO, not all that concerned about them. Wolves on the other hand...
I understand wolves a lot better and am less concerned about them. They are far more predictable, but then maybe that's because I understand them better.
@ilovecanines / I wonder if wolves prey on coyotes. After all, both species share the same territory.
Just happened to me yesterday morning .. wee hours of the morning with my dog. It kept pace with us as we took a step back it took a step forward. I began yelling and yelling then growling all while trying to pull my dog because he wanted to go after the coyote. After about 50 years of traversing backwards it finally turned its head and I knew that was my cue it was losing interest. It turned and ran off… almost went into cardiac arrest
After I was able to calm down… follow the guidelines in this video.. worked for us..
There is a coyote den adjacent to our subdivision in Knoxville, TN. I’ve had two get into our back fenced yard. They both met out female German Shepherd “Misty Von Tafil” she is a 100+ pound Eastern European Shepherd that is from a long line of herding stock. She is AKC registered and her blood line were bred to fend off and even kill wolves. The two coyotes were no match for her. She doesn’t give a warning bark or growl. She just hits them wide open breaking their neck or back. Then she tears into the carcass for a treat. So far the count is Misty= 2, coyotes=0.
Hooray for Misty, Van Tafil.
Mungo Munro, oh really? Misty is an Eastern European DDR Shepherd. They are specifically bred as herding animals as well as to protect their flocks against wolves. They can and will kill a wolf. They are fearless and will fight to the death if necessary. They are not built like American Shepherds. They are broad in the chest and extremely muscular. They are true to the original Captain Von Stefanitz 1899 German Shepherd breed. She is a true Sable color not the tan and saddle back black as is the American show breed. It appears as though you know less about various German Shepherd bloodlines than you think.
Mungo Munro, you’re the one that questioned the ability of German Shepherds to fend off or be able to kill coyotes. There are several breeds of Shepherds that can do so with ease!
Mungo Munro, now you’re showing your own age. LLO!,
Mungo Munro, damn auto correct! LOL!
I hit a nice drive down the fairway and a coyote came out and ran off with my ball . How do I score that ?
Drop a ball and add a stroke. But you can try and play it where it lies. Your call.😉
Just yell out "woop, woop, woop and pull the trigger.
They are basically big stray dogs unless one has rabies or you are close to thier pups they’ll leave you alone and often run away.
@Joel Springman
Assuming anything isn't wise when dealing with a unknown situation.
you should make sure your Glock is at the ready... and carry on...
Omg I seen two coyotes on like this hill across the road and I was going to school I thought they were wolfs and they were staring me down so then I continued walking and as soon as I continued walking they just looked down and continued on with what they were doing that was crazyyyyy
Nice story bro
Don't they act all "playful" to lure you into an ambush??
sometimes but usually they’ll leave a human alone unless it’s got babies or rabies
Being ambushed by a human is more likely
The Humane Society advice of "only watching your pets" is silly. Coyotes should not be allowed to roam through neighborhoods. They are hunting our pets. When found in densely populated areas they should be eradicated. The cow you had for lunch yesterday did less to threaten you and your pets so don't give me an argument they have the right.
Coyotes love beer and Turkey hotdogs
And gunfire!
I moonlight as a security guard at night for a massive HOA community... the community is overrun with multiple packs of coyotes and they are populating at a breakneck rate... I really don't feel comfortable being outside alone, but my superiors don't seem to care that there's nearly as many coyote as there are residents there now.
I love dogs but I would not hesitate to shoot a coyote or a coy-dog, which is a mix and truly dangerous.
A coyote is a medium sized wild dog. That's it. I came across them several times in Southern California. They don't want a piece of humans. They'll attack your dogs unless, of course, you have a big dog such as a Rottweiler. In that instance, there's no need to 'tighten the leash' and get the dog out of harm's way. The coyote is the one in harm's way.
Be patient til he comes in closer for a better shot. My favorite hunt of all ! 🤘🏼
In pa we protect our game animals ! We shoot coyotes, near and far !
Ricky Shultz Outstanding ! I just like to see the “oh shit” in their eyes. Lol, and with my old eyes and not so steady hands , getting them in close is a benefit. Trust me, I knock the piss out of several every year 🤘🏼
I agree. Coyotes are a problem in my area. If I see one at anytime and a gun is on or near me.......i shoot to kill!!!
Coyotes in packs are dangerous to pets and can be to people. Small children as noted are easy targets so keep them close in areas that contain coyotes. I have personal experience with them as I lived in a country setting that had many coyotes. I have shot over their heads when they were in my area to keep them moving, mind you I respect life and wouldn't shoot them unless it was absolutely necessary such as to save a pet.
I just unholster my 10mm Glock and boom! boom! boom!!! End of story.
I thought “shoot it” was correct answer, too.
Only if Needed.. We had a Pack of 50+ for awhile now usually they Stick to their own.
Im not much against killing things but this is the same reason animals like red wolves arent in the wild anymore
I live in a very small town with lots of farmland all around us and yes there are lots and lots of coyotes and it's not uncommon for us to hear them usually when I'm taking the dog for a walk when I get home late at night Like tonight they were very close by they were maybe a couple blocks away on the other side of a little bridge probably in the farm field
