Anyone wanna help with coyote problems?

A friend of mine had some sort of run in with some Coyotes the other night. This is the email I got from him after asking about his hunt.

Hey so i shot a big doe yesterday in ennismore. when i went to get her she was bleeding hard. not dead and took off running. shortly after a large pack of hell hounds "coyotes" made quick work of her and turned there attentions to me. and so ensued the longest and scariest f**king night of my life. i have now sworn to speedily get my PAL and a .243 and shoot everyone of those mother f**king ***** that disgrace this earth with their very presence.

Now I don't know if he was exagerating or what the deal is. I haven't been able to get ahold of him for the last couple days because of our work schedules.
Definatelt sounds like there is some sort of story behind this.

Here is a copy of a post I made around this time last year, minus the photo. Coyotes can and do attack.


I put on my best camo, (was my best camo) and headed into the woods where I have been seeing a lot of tracks.. I backed up against a tree and pulled some brush against me, it would have been a useless position if I had my crossbow, but since I left it at home I figured it was a good spot.
I have been reading all the sites you guys sent to me, it seems pretty rare that these guys get animals closer than a hundred yards or so, so I felt pretty safe.. I hunched down and let the howler go for a bit, still think it sounds like a drunk duck but the coyotes seem to think it sounded pretty darn good. I seen the first one come up over the river bank, and my heart went crazy.. it was the closest I have been to one of these things since I decided to hunt them, probably 75 yards or so right in front of me, then gone again.
I was far from stealthy when I stuck the howler in my pocket and popped the squeaker in my mouth, I was concentrating more on what sound I was making than what was happening around me, that's when I seen the nasty looking thing about 10 yards in front of me, head cocked to one side and taking slow steps towards me, he was alone I think. All I could think about is how easy of a shot it would have been if I actually had something to shoot it with, and by the time that thought went through my head it was 5 or 6 feet in front of me, I was sure it was looking me straight in the eye. My excitement turned to concern when I realized it wasn't stopping, just walking right to me.. I of course was still tooting away on my squeaker, almost laughing into it in nervousness. By now I knew it was coming for that sound regardless of what I did, so I decided I would grab it by the scruff if it came closer, and closer it came, lunged at the squeaker that was still making noise as I tried to breath through it.
It was in the air when I grabbed it, Damn thing pounced like a cat, I missed his scruff with both hands, one hand had his cheek and the other the top of it's head by the ear.. He was pretty pissed, and I could smell his rotten breath and all I remember thinking is how white the teeth were for an ugly animal. It was mere seconds and I had it pinned down under my knee while holding its head to the ground. I had it in a position where it couldn't do any damage to me and I looked around to see if he had any friends nearby, all I could think is why I hadn't read anything like this, and what else could possibly happen. I mumbled something through my teeth about not being a mouse with lots of colorful words included. I took my hand off it's cheek to grab my knife and that's when he turned and got my leg, just above my ankle. It happened pretty quick, didn't feel a thing. About 10 seconds later, neither did he. I learned a few things today, that is for sure.

So, my buyers remorse for buying the cheapest yote call Bass Pro had to offer is now gone, I am a firm believer now.

Ok what the hell am I missing here? You went out in camo and called in coyotes with no weapon at all in the bush?? Do people really do this as a hobby or something? I'm sorry but that is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard and you deserved that scratch. What did you think was going to happen? He's a predator, he's going to circle you and approach in steath (his camo is as good as yours) and when he's in range he'll strike.

I grew up on a farm in central alberta and have been around coyotes all my life. They are nothing to fear unless of course you lie down and pretend your a wounded rabbit... Usually during the day you'll see one or two together and in the evening they will pack up a bit and houl to other yotes in the area. I have never heard of anyone being attacked by them, however I wouldn't advise a 6yo walking into the bush at 7 at night either. They fear man and try their best to avoid you, however some don't mind trotting past you at a safe a distance if your out in the field. I fear the rotty that buddy is walking down the street in downtown Calgary far more than a couple of yotes...

My point is that first, congrats on good camo, and second that coyote didn't have a clue what you really were, but was following his instinct that you sounded like an easy dinner. He was probably freaked right out that a grown man popped up and grabbed him and from there he went on a flight or fight response. I could entice a poodle into the same trap and get the same scratch marks for it.

If your going to call in a predator of any size in full camo, you had better surprise him with the crack of a rifle before you end up in hand to paw combat... IMHO :jerkit:
