Over the years hunting and dealing with my cows Ive had numerous encouters with coyotes. Only once have I ever felt threatened which happened when early one morning whenI came face to face with a pack of 5 or more. At first they broke to run then stopped and began to look at me in a way I wasnt comfortable with. Luckily I had my 7mm instead of my bow. One warning shot and they were on their way and I was on mine back to the camp for a clean pair of underwear.
