Default scared of coyotes?

I've had two experiences with coyotes after dark, how about you?...
1) Sitting by the camp fire sipping some hopps and barley by myself one night a few hours after sunset. All of a sudden I had a pack of 7 or 8 yotes within 100-200 yards surrounding me, so I went in and grabbed my shotgun. The yelping and calling continued closer until I scrambled back inside. I through some food out the door maybe 20 yards and watched but they never came. I was calling for my mommy!
2) Sitting in my stand for an afternoon hunt about 1 1/2 miles in the woods. I had about 5 minutes left of legal light and the yelping started a few hundred yards away. Didn't think much about it, until it got closer with more yotes calling back and fourth. Well I tell you I got my narrow white ass outta there pretty damn quick.
~ I usually carry my .44 mag while archery hunting, as there are many bear in the area and I was too lazy too grab it before I left the camp for the hunt.
Question #2 - Do you pack a pistola?
