I'm not scared of coyotes. I was just a little un-nervedone early morning during bow season... I was quietly walking to my treestand up in the mountains, in the dark, and heard the high pitched yip of a coyote. It was just one of those things... I know it probably saw me before I saw it, and it heard me too.

Anyway, I carry my Para Ordnance .45 ACP with me from time to time when I bowhunt (it's legal here in VA when you have a CWP). To me, it's not a big deal.
