I was surrounded by a pack of coyotes one night in the forest in northern CA. They tried blocking my way. They were trying to get me to panic and run. I didn't. I hollered and swung the pail I was carrying at them. They evaporated. They were looking for dinner but weren't quite aggressive enough and I'm thankful for that.
people sleep on how effective of a weapon a bucket can be
You did the right thing. Always stand your ground against a predator be it a pack of coyotes or a Grizzly Bear...
@@mikeoglen6848 Yes, well it also seems to be a good idea to remove yourself from a disadvantageous situation like I've done numerous times with over-inquisitive Tiger Sharks, after dark. I got out of the water.
@jameswest4819 , we call them in for fun when camping and hiking .
@@LovingIdaho I have been around coyotes most of my 73 years of life but never had a pack of coyotes surround me and act aggressive but that one time. It was very unusual and surprised me at the time. You sound like the divers I've met that act like tiger sharks are fun to call in at night and are fun to watch.
Start video at 6:15 unless you’d like to hear 6:00 minutes of how much Jackson likes to hunt.
Legend
Public service. Thank you.
thank you
Lmao. Thanks I did
Thanks!
The repetitiveness to extend the story takes away from the story, rendering it unwatchable, Let the story tell itself!
So videos do that and it ruins them
Yeah- I know people who tell stories like this, they’re insufferable. Time stealers, don’t care about what you have to say…I’m done.
Thanks you saved me some time
Well said… unfortunately this is 70% of videos!
It seems like it's formatted for tv with commercials and all that
I know of a nurse at an assisted living home here in Western PA that was attacked by a rabid coyote one nite while out stretching her legs on a smoke break several years ago, which made a lot news in the local papers. She was ripped-up pretty badly - required over 20 stitches to close the wounds, and needed both plastic surgery and rabies shot. If an animal is rabid, 'normal' behavior usually doesn't apply.
Gee I don't know maybe stop encroaching on their homeland ,stupid squatters.
People and even experts forget that humans engage in behavior that is unusual and it is logical to assume animals engage in aberrant, unusual behavior as well.
I love how they repeat Jackson's life story every five minutes.
😝 hahaha 😝
I couldnt stand it lol
Don't you love how they can take 20 minutes to tell a 5 minute story?
Coyotes are very clever. No doubt they broke into his truck to lure him out of the stand.
Native Americans called them “the trickster” bc how smart and sometimes unpredictable they can bee!
lol.
No they didn’t 🤦🏻♂️
One of them was able to drive the truck to another location, leaving Jackson stranded.
I've been surrounded by coyotes twice. Close enough to see them in the pitch black of a moonless night in the Canadian wilderness. I gave them a pep talk both times and as soon as they realized it was a human they took off fast!!
I got surrounded by them walking through my trail after dark all I could see was the glow of their eyes their intent was to attack I took my pistol with me popped of a shot toward their eyes they scattered a distance but I let them know I was going to fight . They kept their distance but followed me home . I believe if I had let fear get me yeah they would have attacked . But instead I was filled with adrenaline and anger . I’m not on the menu . That’s what I told them .
I have had it happen many times at night intentionally calling them in...aside from that I had 10 or so of them following me for over 2 miles at 4 a.m while bow hunting...I thought it was funny for the first mile and a half and left my flashlight off..then they started coming within 15 ft and jumping back so then I yelled at em and charged one and they scattered and never seen one after that
I been surrounded vids on my youtube channel there were over 10 and they came to a predator fawn distress call.
It seems that the ones east of the Mississippi river are more aggressive for some reason
Same, that night stament of the night, where's the exsta box of shot gun shells?
The survivor is a Jeanna Giese. She was 15 when she was infected by a bat biting her as she tried torescue from her church. She didn't seek medical treatment until 3 weeks later in the ER. She was put into a medically induced coma while receiving what's now called the Milwaukee treatment. She left the hospital rabies free after 75 days. She gave birth to twins in 2014. Just so ya know. 😊
Jack London would’ve loved this story from start to finish. SIXTEEN YEARS OLD!!! His words were right .. for him this truly was “a rite of passage.” BRAVO!!!
Oh how nice it would be to wrap your hand around a can of bear spray you had on your belt. If you never use it, it's easy to take back home with you. Side arm and bear spray are handy just in case.
Always pack a knife (not a little penknife, a Real knife ! ).
"A man without a knife,
is a man without a life."
Is a can of bear spray very big? I need to go buy some sp I guess I'll see.
My ranch in the Texas Panhandle is named "Coyoacan"--place of the coyote--in Aztec. You hear coyotes howling every night. Camping there you can hear them run past your tent as they chase their prey. I never had one even slow down . They are not interested in people! To teach kids not to be fearful of them I have the kids howl like a coyote at dusk. They wait then after a minute or so a pack will answer with a howl, then another pack further away will answer. It is beautiful to hear them singing their evening song!
Wow, that must be great!
Maybe they got tired of hearing what a good hunter he is. I'm from the city and these comments are so informative and much better than the show.
Trust me, this guy isn’t a hunter. He’s been hunting a few times and considers himself a hunter. He isn’t I can assure you. 😂
I was testing my new Fenix headlamp at dusk on a new trail a few years back. When I tested the high beam, it was then I came to realize I was compeletely surrounded by coyotes... as dozen or more spaced out evenly around me. Fortunately, my headlamp blinded them and I had a my huge knife. And none of them wanted to be first.... So I vigilantly made my way back home.
@@ckelly88 It was actually kinda cool... But not as cool as the night I ran into a wall of eyes on Tiger Mountain... That actually freaked me out more.
That's why I never go into the woods without my pistol as well, even when I have a rifle. I have had to use it twice.
I don’t hunt , but there are Coyotes in the woods. You are a fool to go out without a pistol. While I am a revolver fan, either da or sa, 38, 357 or 45, in coyote country I will carry either a 9mm or a 1911 commander 45 acp. Having at least 8-10 rounds and spare mags makes more sense for pack animals like coyotes. Unfortunately I am in a 10 round mag restricted state, if not I would go to the 9mm with 13 in a Browning High Power or 15 in. Glock, but with the 10 round restriction an8 plus 1 45 is first choice. If I was carrying a rifle it would probably be a lever action357 or 45 Coltt backed up by a revolver in the same caliber. A knife is a must as well . Carry a folder , and a 5 or 6 inch fixed blade
@@Desperado3248 right on
Any gun works on coyotes. I’ve taken a few with a .22 long rifle. Once you start shooting at them, they run like hell.
@@Desperado3248 Jesus If I was that terrified I would stay out of the woods.
Facts. ALWAYS CARRY A PISTOL.
Coyotes: We’re going to eat you.
Me: Take it up with my 10mm Springfield TRP.
I have a Glock 20 in 10mm. With a hot load you could line them up 3 at a time and take them out with 1 shot. By the way that's a nice piece you have.
Hell yeah! Whack em and stack em!
Like any predator/prey situation, you’ve got to be sure about where you are and what’s going on. By the tome you’re attacked, it’s too late. You’ve got to stay one step ahead.
I’ve been surrounded by coyotes once and by wild pigs once. The pigs were of most concern. They didn’t fear human voices.
Hey! Did you get the part where he had no single scares from the coyotes. Stop crying sweety pie.
This is why you should carry a "Hi- cap." pistol while going out. Even in towns and cities, you have to watch out for mutable predators of all kinds.
Yes and a knife. I am a female in my 70s and do a lot of hiking just me and my dog. I carry bear spray attached to the front of my backpack, an easily accessible concealed gun, and a tactical knife is strapped to my hip. I also use trekking poles, which can be used for self defense. Anyone can fall prey but at least I'll go down fighting.
You're very hardy. I am afraid to step off the curb in case I hurt myself! 😄
Also, a grenade, in case they are going to win. At least everyone can lose.
"Mutable predators?" WTF is that??
You get a dislike on this for making a 10 min story into 21 min. With always repeating
I was biking w my two Belgians . The fire whistle blew in the valley and tbe coyotes that unknown to me , had surrounded us, began to howl . We we 2 miles in the wood. Scared was not the word. I knew they'd kill my dogs. Somehow I pedaled downhill on the road to the bottom. Of the mountain. My dogs were with me . I learned not to do that again.
Don't just have a gun, have a belt knife or two for stabbing coyote eyes (make sure you can reach your knives easily, with either hand). Bear spray couldn't hurt either
Machete, good range, causes much damage and can be used offensive or defensive
Take a pistol
Weak . Bring granate instead !
I know many hunters who carry a handgun for all predators, no matter if they walk on two feet or four.
those coyotes probably know his smell from culling one or more of their own pack and taking their prey on their territory. It was a coordinated attack to take him down. They are very intelligent animals.
Tricksters
That’s not what happened at all 🤦🏻♂️ a 16 year old isn’t fully grown and 3 coyotes would think they could take down something (someone) of that size. They were either rabid or extremely hungry. They didn’t coordinate an attack on him🤣🤣🤣🤣 the ONLY predator to actively seek revenge on people is the Siberian tiger. That’s it. So no, that’s definitely NOT what happened. Keep dreaming though.
@@andrewwenner2781 Like crows.
So. He’s a hunter that goes after jogs and coyotes. And he’s observed up to 11 coyotes in packs. I’m betting not all of each pack is eliminated when he takes down coyotes. The survivors will remember him and his methods. His smell. Given his repetitive hunting grounds, it’s likely they hate him. On scent. And somewhere along the line they decided it was time to put a stop to him. For the health of the pack.
Just a different view. A possibility.
The multiple vaccines around the wounds sound a hell of a lot better than the daily shots to the abdomen that was the treatment in the 1970s.
Vaccination saving a life. Again.
Weird. I've been hunting almost 50 years and although there is a massive amount of coyotes here I've never heard such a thing. They must have rabies or are literally starving. I hope this doesn't dissuade this young man from enjoying the outdoors.
I've been hunting in areas with large numbers of coyotes for about 35 years, Eastern New Mexico, and SE of San Antonio Texas. In New Mexico the Coyotes were much larger but tended to be very skittish if humans were around, they were hunted heavily and it showed. After I left the Army I settled about 35 miles SE of San Antonio, out in the country. We had a huge coyote population, an influx of urban folks moving to the country, and a lack of people hunting coyotes. It reached the point where I would occasionally have them on my front porch if my wife forgot to bring the dog bowls inside, and there were a few cases of them stalking kids. I had a few very close run ins with them at night when hunting feral hogs, close enough that I could hear their footsteps coming down the deer or hog trail I was posted up on, and when they realized I was there they often would growl, and try to come around each side of me. It wasn't until a concerted effort was made to stop people from putting food out for them, and a large number of us began hunting them with regularity that they regained the normal fear of humans.
it's rare but I was re setting coyote traps literally yesterday and I just dropped the bait in a whole and was checking my trap and I looked behind me and there was about 6-8 coyotes running straight at me I only had a single shot 10/22 and I was so scared at the time I just took off running
Living in Montana my son's (15&17) never go into the woods without a handgun and fixed blade knife.
Yea I'd be more worried about a Grizzly than wolves in that part of the world. All kinds of things can kill ya. Good on you for giving them the tools they need to be safe.
Make sure they're proficient with guns.
@@realname6586
No problem there!
People need to always be prepared when going out into the wild. Prepared with the tools needed to protect themselves.
Animals like dogs, wolfs, coyotes etc. behave differently, and are much more aggressive when they are in packs. Coyotes will sometimes use one to lure dogs out and then the others will come in from the back or side so the dog can't escape.
Cats too.
@@TM-iq6sx Cats are not pack animals. They are solitary hunters.
Some cats, lions are absolutely pack hunters. You probably mean house cats.
@@larryhojio5067 Yes, Cats are pack hunters, but I have seen dogs more than a few times pack up and get mean when they are in numbers. It's still the wild in them.
We had a mother daughter housecat team when I was a kid. Between litters, they would entertain themselves by one luring hound dogs or German shepards under a tree while the other one dropped down on the dog, sink their claws in, and ride the yelping dog around the heighborhood.
51 years old and I've NEVER even come close to being attacked by Coyotes. Strange story.
Yea me too, most coyote I ever seen together is 3 , mom dad n pup, I had one with mange cross the path in front of me, but he kept goin,I never seen a pack like wolves it just sounds like a lot of them howling at dusk
They coyotes hunted him as revenge for all his sinful hunting of God's woodland creatures.
They are usually nocturnal. Ones seen during the day are usually sick, injured or rabid
@@Desperado3248 No, sometimes you do see them early in the morning.
Happening more and more. I have been around hundreds of bears never been attacked. I guess using your logic bears never attack either.
A full grown man making a big scene against coyotes that did nothing to him ages ago... Still blames the coyotes... Oh! And the treatment more painful then the coyotes he killed... Soars for many days... What a man...
If I was him everytime I saw a Coyote it would be target practice.
Same with me, from that day on I would kill every last one in the county until I was in a nursing home.
7:16 He said he heard noises, maybe somebody getting into his truck. So he goes to check his truck and is attacked by coyotes. That is a strange sequence of events.
Clearly the coyotes where luring him out by getting into his truck 😉
I had a Pack behind my house last night, yipping it up fairly loud. I saw two Coyotes cross the road in front of my house at about 9am 2 weeks ago. They were very beautiful, unusually well fed, good meat on them. Usually when I see coyotes they are dead and very scrawny and mangy, these were healthy beautiful creatures, I love em. As long as they are not trying to eat me. Lol.
Meanwhile, all the neighborhood cats have mysteriously disappeared. 🐈🤭

@@marcvalade94 Please stop grunting & write clearly - I don't understand "Bigfoot". (And stop eating crayons - surely you can forage something better?)
In Africa they discovered cats attack from behind. If you face them they won’t attack. So folks wore a face on their backs to protect from attacks.
that was tigers in Indonesia lol
In 1987 29 Palm California I was in the Marine Corps on a operation and I was a gear guard standing alone by one tree in the middle of nowhere desert. Just at sundown about 250 Coyotes came after me and I hopped up that tree so fast they were lunging at me and snapping then moved along when the company came back.
Honestly, it was believable until you said 250 coyotes. Like if you’re gonna make up a story why not at least make it believable🤣🤣🤣
Good example of why you need an ar-15 to hunt lol
I had a pack of six or eight coyotes surround me while sitting in a ground blind close to dark. They had chased a doe past me and stopped chasing her as soon as they knew I was sitting there. As it got darker they got closer and closer, probably to within twenty yards. I packed up and headed for my truck with them all around me until I got into my truck. I always carry my XD45 now with a Railmaster light.
yeah i dont go to my tree stand without my ar10 with olight baldr and a 20 round magazine it is now my woods gun
Here in massachusetts i have heard a pack in the woods nearby that didn't realize I was there, got nervous, and climbed a tree just to see if they would scent and stalk me. After ten minutes they did not come and I decided to made my way out . Don't underestimate a pack of predators in the woods at night with no one else nearby within 15 minutes of you.
A rabid yote attacked my mom when I was in high school, my dad broke its spine with a 2x2 the cops had to finish it off. Cape cod Massachusetts around 15 years ago
They also seem to be fairly habituated to humans on the cape so it’s possible that it’s inhibition wasn’t all that high in the first place

Good, I yet when you feel like killing, just spend the bullet on the killer.
Taylor from Toronto got killed by 2 coyotes not a pack..I am from the area where she was killed. I know the story all too well. Also, they weren't Coywolves, they were just regular coyotes, however, our Coyotes in Eastern Canada are a little bigger than the typical coyotes living on the West Coast.
Live in Rochester across the pond. Seen them in our river gorge. Huge animals. I was shocked at the size.
I saw a news story about this incident not long after it happened. The Canadian authorities managed to kill one or two of the animals and a necropsy was performed. They determined that the Cape Breton coyotes possessed skulls much larger than what is typical for coyotes (canis latrans). It was their conclusion that they had bred with wolves at some point in their evolutionary line. There might have been other evidence, but the skull analysis is what has stuck with me.
@@BipolarAyatollah these ain't our Grandpa's yotes!! It may be 10 or 20 generations back but something caused them to get bigger and behave more aggressively. Probobally when wolves were being purged from areas. Id imagine the drive to sustain the species would be strong and hooking up with the ugly chick may have been a thing. I went most of my 50 years never seeing one. Seen a dozen in the last decade. Always alone and never stick around when they know I am there.
I agree. The coyotes have gotten bigger. I've lived in Colorado all my life and spent lots of time in Arizona and New Mexico, etc. I used to take my five dogs out to walk in the dry washes and often encountered a lone coyote. Never had a problem, but I am well aware of their behavior and the risks! There is no stray dog and cat problem in Tucson because the coyotes are very numerous in the city. At my home of 50+ years in the foothills, we used to have large choruses from coyotes very frequently. Now there are very few. However, the coyotes who remain have indeed become much bigger. I was able to chase one away from my property one day that had been around a few times. He was the largest I've ever seen and I did not want him hanging around! Haven't heard or seen one up here for some time, but they have become a real risk for children in the Denver areas.
Necropsy showed they were Coywolves. You must be from the Bay.
So glad it wasn't worse and your ok. We have conservation area in back of my house and when I'm outside at night they sometimes come through the yard and I have to yell at them to get out, so far they cooperate. But I'm always very alert to whatever comes into the yard. I have a great love and respect for all the wildlife here and they know I won't harm them so they sometimes come close to me sometimes there's only 3 or 4 ft between us but it's always them coming closer to me, I'm just happy and in awe when I see them. I always say I never know what will visit when I'm out here at night I'm always surprised. Bats are flying around right now hopefully eating mosquitoes.
If I were u, I would set bear traps
I love when the animals win! They should have chewed your limb off
What if it was you or your child? Do you ever hike in the woods, then it could have been you. The animals had no idea he was "hunting", they only wanted a meal.
@@lhurst9550 we don't kill animals in my household. These trophy hunters and deer feeder hunters i have no love for. Why do these ignorant folks kill bears, elephants, lions etc. They surely do not eat them. I could care less if a hunter gets mauled.
@@brohamq6095 Just being a human yourself makes you responsible for taking the lives of other living organisms.
Example: Do you drive or are you driven around in a vehicle? Then you kill as well. The vehicle windshield gets dirty because of the splattered bodies of countless lives it smashes at highspeed. Innocent little insects just trying to live!
Taking a family trip for enjoyment takes untold amounts of helpless little cute bugs lives for no reason. And for what, not your immediate survival. Do you eat the dead bugs from your grill? Or just complain that the vehicle is dirty? You bet its dirty with all those helpless creatures.
Insects have just as much of a right to life as any other creature. Be it a a baby seal or a dung beatle.
Would you like someone to comment on a public forum that they could give a shit it you or your family met with the same end as all those poor insects? I highly doubt it. Maybe utilize that tool box that sits between your ears. The best tool in there is called "critical thinking skills". Your comment leads me to assume yours is getting a tad rusty.
Sorry if you feel like I'm calling you out. But I am, and hope in the process to wake you up a bit.
Take care.

I live in a rural area of New England and I hear coyotes all the time. I also mountain bike at night night often alone, I never gave the coyotes much thought as my lights are really bright and they have never come close to me. It may be time to start packing on these rides. My neighbor hates coyotes and often shots them at night. Its his thing I ride and he shots coyotes. We have always gotten along well.
Sounds like he's packing your weight for you. Unbeknownst to you ...
@@fjb4932 Yee Ha.
City people should see this.
I used to hike a swath of wilderness where I grew up in SE Fairfax County in N Virginia 40 years ago. Back then I spent a lot of time in that area, sometimes the entire day by myself hiking and exploring. Coyotes showed up 10 yrs ago. 4 yrs ago I was in that area and went for a cold winter nostalgic hike but I forgot it's now infested with coyotes. I was about a mile in and came across coyote tracks in the snow. That was a startling moment.
I've had so many coyote packs cross my path but they've never bothered me once ever. I've never even heard of a coyote attacking a human unless it was rabid.
I had a single coyote attack me until he got some of my s&w pump shotgun
This sounds like bs to me
You are wrong
Coyotes do what they do, they will attack, if they think they have the upper hand.

My grandpa was a shepherd in larado Texas and he was attached by cayote back in the 1960s
don't take wild animals for granted your life is important
Never walk unarmed. Hell even in town anymore people keep dogs that are downright dangerous.
Every Coyote hunter dreams of this happening to them. lol But really I believe it was his size that caused this to happen. Coyotes will not attack something that is bigger than what they can handle. Most adults are safe from this.
Ned! It’s coming right for us! Shoot it!

I’ve seen the Coywolf pack in the Cape Breton Highlands, they’re huge, no joke.
I am not worried about coyotes , but I have had a pack of wolves following me about 40 feet to 100 feet .

@@LovingIdaho the cape Breton coyotes are wolf hybrids
@@CastleMc , they are to busy killing everything around us to have hybrids .
Thanks 4 sharing...I will be more careful!
A good example of why you carry a handgun. Many hunters do for various reasons, and easy access to dispatch predators when being attacked is a number one reason to have a magnum revolver or a powerful caliber pistol.
That's why I always carry a handgun when I hunt/hike. (or go into the intercity which is far more dangerous)
How brave... I go to take picture in the wild regularly. I met a bear once and no, never even carried a knife. At home my best blade is a potato knife and I am vegan. Because I am positive I know I can survive without someone else to give me everything so I can get up the next day... Pfff.. I

Wear a side arm my friend, that is what they are for. The Judge holds 45 long and 410 which you can use slugs in it as well. and you can mix and match in the cylinder. heard of a farmer near Caesars Creek area here in Ohio who was was surrounded by a pack of 12 when his tractor ran out of gas in the field. He had a cell phone fortunately and was able to call for help. That is what concealed carry is for even when farming. If you have a large plot to till, you never know when you will come across a pack of dogs, coyotes, or even a cougar though very rare here, yet we have had them. And a hungry animal will over ride his aversion to humans if he is hungry enough. CAUTION: alertness and prudence in a hazardous situation; care; wariness:
For coyotes to do something like this is so unbelievably unusual for their behavior that something had to be up. I've walked amongst coyotes many times including in the very late night/early am and they just run when they see you. I guess the only difference is I always have my dog with me. But I've never in my life and all my hunting friends and relatives ever heard of coyotes attacking a full grown human male.

@@charsback lol!!
First off your actor shoots the rifle right handed then left handed, then has the quiver upside down on that old compound bow, and doesn’t look through the string peep when he shoots it. It’s hard to take this reenactment account of a coyote attack seriously when there is zero attention to detail on basic hunting equipment and the use of it.
You should be able to shoot rifle from either side. Maybe that’s more for tactical shooting, but I’d think hunters would want to be able to utilize a wider array of brace positions.
Hows bout no safety orange on Dad?
Coyotes were a western desert/prairie dweller, they may have spread across the continent on their own over time. Being a oddity many were run down on horses, captured alive and sent back east to appease the "cityslickers" curiosity about the creatures of the west. Teddy Roosevelt caught and sent many back to NY when he went west to ND and established his cattle ranch near Medora. Many escaped captivity as he noted in his writings but he didn't think they could survive in a woodland setting.
The spread of coyotes into northern and eastern areas they were not known to inhabit previously coincides with the eradication of wolves from those areas. Wolves are an apex predator in any environment they happen to inhabit, coyotes on the other hand are not naturally apex predators in most environments, and wolves will run coyotes down and kill them to eliminate any competition for resources (although it's not unheard of for a lone male wolf to breed with a female coyote if he encounters her while she's in season). The wolves were the primary population control among coyote populations as apex predators tend to be what keeps the numbers of prey and competing species of predators in check. Lose the apex predators and the populations of both prey and competing predators skyrocket. When populations skyrocket these animals will spread into new territories and if those new territories also lack any apex predators to control numbers they will continue to grow in number and range. This was initially kept somewhat in check as prior to the greet depression and WWII most Americans lived in rural areas where farming and hunting were common but as people moved to urban areas And that began to diminish coyote populations spread .
The reason we have coyotes now in every continental state many Canadian provinces as well as most of Mexico is the fact that over 98 percent of their range they no longer have to compete with wolf,puma,bear or bobcats wolf in particular being of interest because along the way they picked up wolf dna (probably from isolated wolves in Canada and the northern great lakes region)
I am laughing at the sweet Appalachian bluegrass music underneath the rabies shot segment late in the piece. I do really like the music. It’s just so over the top.
I live in a small town in Wa state on the Olympic Peninsula. Coyotes are thick here. They run the streets especially at night . Looking for pets. Small dogs and cats. And deer are all over in town, day and night. In spring does attack people for getting to close to their babies. In the fall the males are in rut. They fight with other males. Or go after humans.
Me too, I own large property in the Olympic home on the weekends. I do hear coyotes all the time but I do see more deer than them. Are there incidents of coyote attacks in the peninsula?
@@rrtds9378 Not as far as I know. I lived out in the rural county most of my life here on the Peninsula and in fact on a 80 acre farm for many years. That's when we were just starting out as a family. 2 of 3 of our kids were born there. We saw coyotes often enough as they'll try to take a newborn calf or colt or whatever and they'll take chickens. But once they learned they couldn't get ours they didn't come up by the house. Course it helped that we had a black lab that was very protective of us. She wouldn't let any animals nor people near the farm and our kids and animals. The coyotes back then were much more timid. They didn't want to be seen. But these days with so many people here they've gotten used to people. And so many people who moved here from some big city always want to feed the wild animals. Raccoons, rabbits, otters, coyotes, deer..and it isn't good in any way at all. Back in the 60's 2 grizzly bears attacked and killed 2 young women and injured others one summer in Glacier Nat Park in Montana cuz so many people were feeding them. A couple of lodges had dumps where the bears would feed and people would stand around with their kids trying to take pics! They had to kill the 2 that killed the girls. One had broken glass jammed in it's gums and between it's teeth from eating out of garbage cans and dumps at lodges. People don't understand wild animals. Once they associate food with humans they lose fear. They're in survival mode every day. Food is a priority. I know coyotes have attacked people and they do work together as a team though you may see them solo at times. But I dont know of any attacks here. At Ft. Worden I worked cleaning units and my boss used to take her big dog up on the hill for a walk after lunch each day and coyotes were all around them sneaking up on her and her dog. Her dog was big but pretty old and they may have sensed that. Easy meal. If once they got my boss out of the way. They made it back ok though.
@@laswan5 in Sequim I do hear coyotes yipping, howling mostly at night time and saw a single coyote walking during the day time twice within 9-years. My property also includes 1-acre forest, that's the area where I hear them and I see their footprints on the mud during rainy season. I am hesitant to walking in there without carrying a shovel. My neighbor suggested carrying a BB-gun. But watching this video BB-gun might not be enough.
Coyote hunting is a great sport. Many people hunting them year round. Good job and video.
Guy makes a pack of coyotes sound like a pack of wolves lol. They’re coyotes just kick em and scare em away.
Whenever I step out onto my back porch I see eyes surrounding me in the flash light and howels from every direction. Howels and yeeps. I am reminded that I am meat.
I was out walking in our subdivision in southeast Michigan in Ypsilanti. At the time our sub had a lot of woods on three sides. I saw what I at first thought was a dog run past in my peripheral vision. I turned to face it and it was a coyote. Fortunately he didn’t come closer but I was carrying just in case.
where I live there are tons of coyotes. they sound freaky at night at all hours. my property is fenced and my formerly city fat cats are safe behind chicken wire in a covered patio. when I hike around our urban trails I take a 4 ft piece of closet rod as my walking stick (my beater) as well as my k-bar. when walking trails in the woods I add my 9mm and definitely do not take my dog. I respect nature but at the end of the day I want to be home. I got cats to feed.
It's been noted by others that when migrating east, the coyotes inter bred with Red wolves making the SE coyote considerably larger than their western cousins. I'll bet he 1) carries a sidearm now and 2) spends some time hunting coyotes with an AR. Rob in GA.
I love when coyotes hunt me.. my counts go way up!
Remind me to carry an Uzi if I have to go in the woods.
His first mistake was not immediately turning around when he heard something running behind him. He said he thought it was a deer and so did not turn in time. Hear something turn and face it. If he had, he probably could have shot the first coyote before it knocked him to the ground. Also, who hunts without a knife? His rifle was no longer in his grasp so a knife would easily have dispatched the one on his arm.
he most likely did have a knife but it was in a bag because when u have a rifle to defend urself usually u dont expect needing a knife and nobody hunts without a knife
literally no one when i was a kid i hunted stuff with stones and a knife lol bc ye
stones as a ranged weapon to knock something such as a turkey
not a deer lol
🤣🤣THIS!! Story! 🤭OMG🙄 seriously??!! NO! but one time i was fishing and i was bringing in this monster trout fish that was like close to 30” long, easily 6lbs if not more… i got it right up on shore and it jumped off my hook 😖😩 Got away!!! AND nobody around to witness the darn event ☹️
This PACK of coyotes ‘story’ reminds me of that experience! 🤣😆😅😅 good one!
although i wasted a few minutes of my life watching & commenting on it…thank goodness for fast forward just to get to certain areas of the vid only to realize it is truly silly and more outlandish than my fish story 🤪😆🙄
Nothing like a 5-7 min story/vid stretched to just under 22 minutes 🥱😴😴 🤯
Rabies was the biggest threat from the bites, that is all im gonna give this story a break on. Heck, i’ve seen just as bad of dog bites from being broke up at my dog park!!
This is extremely unusual behavior for coyotes. I spend allot of time in the back country and see coyotes very often. When they see me they always run away from me. They must have been extremely hungry to behave like this. I have never had any fear of them.
I lived in a very remote area of BC and walked every day, I was always surrounded by coyotes, I’d see them around me but never feared them. Maybe I should have!
Was a Pro Trapper in Wy. Have killed in excess of 10,000 Coyotes have had 2 of them for pets. I like them and respect them. I don't believe this story! Cheers
Revenge. That’s what you get for hunting predators. These guys probably got sick of seeing their brothers and sisters die.
Fifty years ago we had several acres in southern Arizona and every day I would walk the property and see a couple of coyotes walking along
When I walked passed them,
I turned around to look over my shoulder and they did the same
Thing. Although when.they.howlef
St night and chased rabbits , I would not trust them
At the time. We had a pet wolf
Who would run with them
That's crazy for sure he had somebody watching over him that day wow
Up here in southeastern Ohio we take coyotes every year that weigh over 40 lbs. Its definitely unsettling when you shoot one from inside 20 yards the the rest of them just yip and howl in response instead of running…
I got attacked by group of angry sloths! Took forever but jeez can they have some angry intent! Eventually i just slowly walked away unharmed but they wanted me bad!
That is my biggest fear!!!! Glad you’re alright. Very lucky. Lol
I will never understand how people can get pleasure out of shooting animals...
Right? It’s pretty sadistic to enjoy watching an animal minding its own business cry in pain and bleed out.. I will never ever understand it.
An encounter like that would have turned me into a coyote exterminator. Trust me. Paybacks... The southwest Arizona coyotes are small, but they get much larger than 25 pounds in many areas, often weigh in the high 40's, some over 50 and even over 60 on a rare occasion as they are crossed with wolves in lots of locations. No reason to live in fear of coyotes, but respect and watch. Coyotes are on our few acres all the time. Hear them now and then, but didn't hear them this summer. The bear kept them away.
This is why I have a CCW on me at all times walking in the woods.
I guess I'm in this "me too" movement. I've had three fights with different packs in my time, the funny thing is, I never killed one of them. Can't say that about the cat that tried to get me, bug cats lock eyes with you, they don't stop, until they get the lead pill.
I always carry a 5ft or so walking stick when walking in the woods. Just swishing back and forth when menaced will scare off most critters.
A six inch stick in 45 acp does the job even better
I never knew that coyotes can attack humans. Their mouth and teeth are too small, but they are fast which is their only asset. In Illinois they run away the first chance they get.
Now the hunter is the prey 🎶
These things are even on the island of Montreal (Canada). There's around 5 million people living in the greater Montreal area, yet they somehow crossed the river, and have populated it. They tend to be much more solitary in urban areas though.
Eastern Canada has what's nicknamed a coywolf which is a cross breed of wolf coyote. Basically a bigger, more aggressive coyote.
Yes we do.. I live in eastern Ontario and the coyotes are just like you said.
North Eastern
Cody Emans I was talking more about the maritimes, but they have them in Ontario too!? I'm in Quebec btw
@@jimf1964 hey Jim 👋
@@jimf1964 yup Jim they are here for a long time
You start shooting and coyotes will normally leave, especially if you take out the lead dog, as chaos usually ensues.
Coyotes in some states weight more than 25 pounds. Coyotes up to 50 pounds have been shot here in Maryland. Coyotes are increasing mating with wolves and domestic dogs in the northern states leading to larger hybrid animals but pure coyotes in the northern and northeastern United States are larger than the coyotes in the western United States anyway.
I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada..on the East Coast. Coyotes down here weight easily 50 pounds or more. In Ontario, Canada, they mate with Wolves and produce Coywolves....Coyotes size of Wolves..
@@matthewdunlop2623 I live in Maryland and coywolves migrated from Canada into New York state and then spread throughout New England into all the eastern united states.
They're coming to the west coast. In BC and Washington.
Got cornered by pack of wild dogs, had to shoot two with shotgun before they broke off, have been circled by yotes, always carry something outside.
Someone is full of ****!!!!
In 2million years, there has only been 35 coyote attacks? They said "Throughout the years" right after telling how long coyotes have been here. I would say, by those odds, this dude might wanna play the lottery. Btw I greatly like that the worst sounding part of this whole ordeal was what the hospital put him through. Lol I find that to be rather funny.
Always be aware of your backtrail..make it a habit.
At my country they are now widely spread, even in the capitol city you can hit some with car in the night. But 10-15 years ago there were just a small population in rural places.
Eastern coyotes, said to be wolf hybrids, are much bigger than the western coyote described by the narrator
I do not hunt, nor wish to. BUT, if I were to go out in the wilds, ESPECIALLY by myself, I would not THINK of NOT carrying my Glock .40 S&W, even if I happened to have my .30-.30 saddle rifle.
Is your glock a model 23? Also a 30-30 is a great brush gun. But I prefer my .257 Roberts. But I do hunt and I eat what I kill. Snake, turtle, deer, bear, boar, ground hog, squirrel, whatever. I also eat all the parts that are edible. Nothing goes to waste. I also know what plants are edible and which are poisonous. Good things to know.
World's fastest shotgun works on delinquent yote packs..really good.
starts at 8:51
lesson of the story don't hunt alone..
