We had like 7 human coyote attacks in my area in Frisco a few years ago, One coyote took down a female jogger and she had to be rushed for emergency surgery.

Well, at least the dad threw a rock at the coyote.

After that I would make sure and have a pistol in my pocket all of the time and bust its azz next time it showed it face. Maybe set a trap out also?

That`s FN crazy. Out landowner will not let us kill coyotes. I don`t know why. He just said to not kill them. So, I haven't. Wink Wink.

Always carry.

This. I walk the dogs early in the morning and late at night, usually it's dark. I always have a pistol on me, just in case.
I bet that kid has to get the rabies shots unless they can catch, kill and test they coyote.

That’s exactly what went through my mind. I was thinking along the more proactive lines also. Didn’t that happen in Cali? The yotes are losing their fear of man over there same as the mountain lions did 20 years or however long ago
And sure enough, look at the attack history of cats vs humans in CA since they got that max protection status.

You think someone told the cats they were protected and untouchable?

No, I think they figured it out on their own when people quit hunting them and shooting at them.

Forget the coyote. Nobody has called out the fact that you dont take a toddler out of the vehicle and set them down to wander by themselves. Thats an easy way to have your kid get run over by a car when they dart out into the street. Get whatever you need out of the car, then the last thing you get out is the kid. Same is true for entering the vehicle, put kid in first then deal with the other crap you need to get in the car. Part of this is on the dad because if he’s with his 2yr old this doesnt happen.

People feeding them is a lot of the problem.

I remember that mess. Also remember a mountain lion spotted a couple times in the same area + or - a few miles a few years before that. They said it must have traveled the creeks down from Grayson County.
