If you were to run from one, good luck; the coyote can reach top speeds of 43 miles an hour. If for some reason you get caught in a pack, yell, scream or make some loud noise. The animal will run away with it's tail between its legs. Do be cautious if you have small children, they are known to attack children under the age of 10, but don't worry, coyotes have only recorded one death. They have evolved into a nocturnal (night time) animal because of pressure from humans. Some people in the town where I live have seen them knocking over the trash can at night and searching through their trash for an easy meal.
The coyote lives in a burrow usually made by a ground hog, but can make their own. Here is Wylie searching for food on my mother n law's land:

Do the coyotes howl out much by you? Out here we hear them howling in the meadows near our house frequently.
ReplyDeleteI don't here them often close to town. But when I am deer hunting out south and east of town approximately 10 miles away, I'll hear quite a bit.
