Freaky---If your coyotes are anything like ours then that is what it was! They aren't scared of us AT ALL. Our neighbor has 5 dogs and one came in her house and was eating her dog food. On the news, a coyote came inside and grabbed a baby (didn't hurt it bad.) They will come right up to you if you're out walking. People have had their little dogs taken out of their arms by coyotes! No joke...that is why so many people here kill them. My sister got chased by one while she was riding her horse...they are fearless. Of least, the ones here are. Plus, even worse, the ones here get the size of an average shepherd. I don't know how your coyotes there are but the ones by my house do that sort of thing pretty regularly. When you pull out of my driveway, you have to be careful not to hit one because they won't even move! Freaky, coyotes are very smart and brave animals. Well good luck!
