I didn't think much of it at first, until I saw a show on one of the science or Discovery channels or something about a woman that was attacked and partially eaten by coyotes.
I've had two encounters at the ranch now where one or more coyotes got within 30 yards of me without being afraid. The second one was within 30 FEET (but on the other side of a fence). I didn't have a safe backstop in either case, so I couldn't take a shot even though I had my M4 with me. The second one I yelled at, and it just looked at me like, "I know you ain't talking to me."
On that TV show, they killed the dogs and DNA testing revealed they had been mixed with wolf DNA at some time.
I'm beginning to think the coyotes around here are tainted as well.
Anybody else notice coyotes losing their fear of people?
