This was a little unnerving ....

Our horse barn is about 175 feet down the driveway from our house.
It has a small, two car garage attached to it where I keep the tractor
in the winter.

I had finished up plowing the driveway with the truck and decided to
walk down to the barn to get the tractor and do a little clean up work.

Got halfway down to the barn when suddenly a coyote came trotting out of
the woods beside the house. I stopped. It stopped ... about 20 feet
away and we just stared at each other. It showed absolutely no fear of
me. It kept looking at me, then in the direction it had been going
(towards the barn and garage) and then back at me again. I just stood
there. It finally started moving slowly towards the garage but then
stopped, turned and started walking back directly towards me. My first
thought was that my gun was back in the house. It stopped again about
20 feet away and we stared at each other again for about 30 seconds then
it moved on towards the garage. So, I slowly followed it, around the
corner and then realized that one of the garage doors was open. (I had
been in there earlier).

My thought was that it had gone in the garage. Walked up slowly and
looked around ... no coyote. Turned around and there he was again,
standing behind me, again about 20, maybe 30 feet away. I booked it
into the garage, pulled the door down fast and watched him through one
of the door windows. He finally lost interest and trotted off towards
my neighbor's house. They raise chickens. I think they will need to
do a head count tonight.

Made me think about what would happen if I had a gun and I was forced to
shoot it if it had attacked or become more threatening. Need to check
up on the laws about that.

Sounds like Harry - who once said he carried because of "dog
packs."
I can't imagine being attacked by a coyote. They are naturally
fearful of me, with good reason. Dogs too.
Excepting Chihuahuas. Tiny dogs are stupid. I have one.
Instead of "booking" it into the garage, you should have just
growled at it as you approached it. Make a fist too.
Would have sent it away with its tail tucked.
Bears are another story.




Luddite knew it was a coyote because of the tag around its neck that
said "Wile"

I open carried out in the Shenandoah area because of verified reports of
feral dog attacks.



...but mostly to impress the good ol' boys, eh?



Don't know any of your feral good old boys, Johnny the Racist. I do know
some Southern fellas, but they would be as disgusted by the likes of you
and your trashy racism as any other decent folk.

Do you open carry in DC because of the daily reports of shootings,
muggings, rape, armed robbery etc. there? No you don't, but you cowboy
up out in the woods because of an occasional stray dog incident?
You are terribly inconsistent Krausie baby.

As you should know by now, complaining of the shootings, muggings, rape, murders, and armed
robberies in DC is as racist as mentioning Chicago.

For shame.


Unlike you two racist pussies, I regularly attend meetings and visit
jobsites in D.C., sometimes in low-income neighborhoods, and in the 40
or so years I've been doing that, I've never encountered the shooters,
muggers, murderers, rapists, et cetera, that so terrify you two
ex-military pukes.

You boys must have been hell on wheels while in uniform, running for
cover the first time a shot was fired.

No, his name is 'Krause'. 'Herr' is simply German for 'Mister'. The term
'Krausescheizze' is a noun referring to what he is spreading. I'm surely not calling
Harry 'Krausescheizze'. That would be 'name-calling'.

Dog packs are dangerous but they're more interested in deer than
anything else. Dogs, wolves, coyotes, etc., are all dangerous in
packs and capable of taking down some fairly large animals. They are
all natural born stalkers and hunters if given the chance.

You might want to consider doing some reading on a subject before you
shoot your mouth off. Attacks on humans are rare but they occur.
Coyotes have lost their fear of humans in many areas (including around
here) due to over population and regular encounters. They are also
disease ridden due to their diet.

I am sure a coyote would understand what making a fist was all about, eh?





Kevin is a tough guy with a mean fist.

Yep.
OTOH, a single coyote - all 35 pounds of him - isn't much.
Especially if you're bundled in winter clothes.
Everyone has their own way of dealing with these kind of
incidents. My inclination would be to scare it off
immediately, since I don't want it attacking my back.
You have to let any canine know who's boss.
What's scarier is being attacked by a skunk. They have poor
eyesight and have come right at me at night time.
That's when I beat feet.
