He didn't want to give it a good kick. Or maybe he wasn't capable of kicking. But he sure wasn't afraid of it. He knew not to offer his back. You are a trip. One one hand you claim that a coyote is naturally fearful of humans and won't go after one anyway and then, (above) you say "my inclination would be to scare if off immediately, since I don't want it attacking my back." So which is it? Will it attack or not? A coyote is not a dog. Any wild animal that can easily take down and kill a deer deserves some respect. It's a lot smarter to avoid a confrontation than to further encourage and add to it's experience in dealing with humans. The increasing frequency of human contact is what is causing them to lose their fear in the first place. Can't say I admire your bravery. It's more like stupidity. You nailed it. |

But God help any stranger who encounters Fudge in the house or outside in the fenced-in area we made for him. You could throw all the rocks at him you want, try to kick him, make fists at him and yell at him until you're hoarse but he's still going to try to get you. Doesn't like strangers at all, especially guys. I had to rescue a landscaper who Fudge cornered once. The guy was yelling his head off at him but the only thing that saved him was a five foot high aluminum pool fence that was slowing Fudge down. He was trying to bite his way through the fence to get to the guy. Fudge would probably be no match for a wild coyote though. I think I would dispute your last comment. |

Ah, you've met Fudge. :-) I don't know. A dog's instinct is to protect his territory. A coyote's instinct is to kill to eat. It would be a messy fight though. Fudge is an incredibly athletic and strong dog. |
