two fucking coyotes in my yard, anybody know anything about these guys? Scared shitless getting out of my car. They ran pretty fast as soon as I got my headlights focused on them so the best I could do was this phone pic.

Are they even coyotes? Are they dangerous? Can I let my dog out on them? cafe general, heed my call- I need answers!!!!

Although they look like foxes, coyotes arent much to worry about unless you are a small dog, wolves on the other hand can be quite a vicious handful

Where is this, Streets? If it's coyotes in London, I'd say you need to be worried. If it's Colorado, not a problem. They used to come into my garden when I lived in Denver and were quite nervous - ran when they spotted me. I suppose if there was a pack of 80 of 'em you might need to take some evasive action, or get your M16 out.

coyote ugly was piss poor.

What makes you fear coyotes so badly ?

Pimpmofo · 1st August 2008, 09:01

I'm surprised they stayed around long enough to even get a pic. Nothing to worry about with the coyotes.
It looks like you snapped the picture just as a meteor was striking.

If they do bust out the pitching wedge, or the good old 12 gauge, handguns also work

if in future any of these rogue coyote threads pop up could you keep me in the know.

Eyepopper · 1st August 2008, 09:39

taunt them, I find thats generally the answer with wild animals..

cesc's_mullet · 1st August 2008, 10:01

Aren't they scavengers by nature?

They wouldn't attack you as far as I'm aware.

Bears are quite intolerant to a bit of taunting from experience, so start with them is a lot of fun.

If you can't locate a bear then wild cats are a good alternative, watch for the claws though can be quite a pain.

Red Hand Devil · 1st August 2008, 11:33

They look kinda cute - you should go give them a hug - they'd realy love that

You had better have a damn big dog if you're going to let him out.

GloryHunter07 · 1st August 2008, 15:45

I spent some time talking to family who live out in oaklahoma, they arent much to worry about really, scavengers but they make creepy noises apparently. Wolves, Bears and mountain lions are the ones to crack open the gun case for.

Or corner them.

Either approach will do.

Alright, well next time I see wolves, bears, and mountain lions in suburban DC I'll do just that.
