Well, call me "old school", but in an area such as that, I'd have been carrying a gun anyway...and there is no way I would have ever let that coyote get that close to me to begin with... At the forum I got that video from, the fella that posted it was talking about people feeding them, and said he figured that was the problem and why the coyote acted as it did..... Well, alot of them do "loose their fear of humans" because of people feeding them...but then rabies is always something to be considered as well...and it would definitely have been in my mind in that situation........... But some people need to learn that wild animals are called "wild animals" for a reason...and they should not feed them...all that does is cause problems....whether problems with the animals loosing their fear of humans, or problems with the animals not learning to fully depend on themselves to make a living.... Either way it does not do the animals any good.

Thanks for sharing that video Mongo...I passed it on to many people here in Pa and in the Northeast..

Now here was my point...The eastern coyote is getting so use to man...think about a coyote like the one in the video coming upon a two year old child playing in a yard without the mom and pop around????Ah coyotes oppurtunist for sure!!Anything that is vunerable at the time is a meal...
We had a coyote come out of the woods here and attack a dog...the dog was at the end of a leash being held by a women waiting at the school bus stop for her child to come home from school...It was hanging around and someone did shoot it that evening......
People who feed their animals on their porch...Ah cat and dog food left on the porch....Things like that bring the oppurtunis around... Wiley comes around no food on the porch today...However he see that 2 year old playing in the yard which is the case many a time.. the coyote thinks to itself? "Why Not?"

I was only passing it along myself. I got it from another fella............. But you are right UB...... Like I said above... "But some people need to learn that wild animals are called "wild animals" for a reason...and they should not feed them...all that does is cause problems..."
