The PIC whore club! Come on in!

I was stalked by two coyotes one time, both coming within ten feet of me. None of the tips I was taught to scare them off worked. Yelling at them, throwing rocks at them, nothing. They just looked at me and smelled me, eventually casually walking away from me and back into the bush. KInda freaked me out, especially considering I couldn't see them in the woods when they were 20 feet away. I didn't know if they took off, or in there planning their strategy to come after me.

Were the coyotes in an isolated area or were there people living in the vicinity? From the research I've done and from the people I've talked to who visit and live in the area of the dam, coyotes can appear very tame and comfortable after being exposed to humans. Reports that people have tried to feed them by hand and have been bitten because they don't seem to be hostile.

Also, they are masters of camouflage and that is probably why I didn't see them when riding the bike close to them. If the coyotes you encountered were in an isolated area and didn't seem to have much fear, I can see how this could be especially scary not knowing what they had in mind or if they were hungry or rabid. I'm also thinking they might have gone back into the woods to draw out some more of their companions to come back and target you?

Extremely isolated area, no one living for miles.

Use satellite view for better understanding.
They were well fed and didn't appear rabid, just curious.

Kitten's first time camping and off roading. Nothing crazy. Just a weekend in a tent and some bumpy forest roads. Dashboard was a good spot to sunbathe!

Is the powder coating for looks or protection or both?

 

[Sassysouthern]

Mostly looks but offers a little protection, I suppose.

Thanks! I was curious because my exhaust tip is powder coated. The sheen on your wheels look great!
