Coyotes don’t hunt humans, though it may have been receiving food from other hikers which could cause that behavior.
Comment on All downhill from there
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI went on a hike and a coyote started hunting me on the last mile back to the car. I carry at least a large stick when I hike now.

'Yotes ain’t so proud as to not scavenge a human encampment when no one was looking…

Shit that’s scary. I’m glad to be living in Central Europe. Scariest thing here is the Rabbit of Caerbannog (a.k.a. the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh)

I live where we have plenty of wolves and black bears around. Even a cougar or two now. Ain’t a one of them that like being around a human. Much like crocodiles and hippos, the crocs understand that if you mess with a baby hippo, a much large hippo WILL turn you into a nice pair of shoes, a purse, and a brief case in a heartbeat.
Though to be honest, there are a couple of places I’ve bumped a cougar and seen tracks that when I go there alone, I do carry a pistol for self defense. Cats ain’t smart and it’s always better to have a means to be safe than sorry.
