Most coyotes are cowardly, but I wouldn't fancy rabies, would you? Oh, and by the way, I have a degenerative bone disease in my hip that greatly impairs my mobility, so that if I did have a coyote around, it could perhaps cause me a little trouble, especially since they rarely travel solo.
I notice you said nothing about the cougars, either. Of course, it's hard to construct a rhetorical flourish around them.
Is it perhaps more your style to sit on the sidelines and lob irrelevant potshots? Shame, that. You seem like a smart guy who might have something more substantial to add than this sort of deliberate obtuseness. Nature would thin you out, then.
I was taught that coyotes rarely travel in groups, solo or mated pairs. I'll have to tell my naturalist teachers they were wrong.
As for "potshots", if you have nothing more to complain about than my posting style I deem you a happy man.

Wolves are pack animals, and they are still active in much of the US.
Wild boars have become an increasing menace everywhere that pigs are raised. They revert to their instinctual wildness and brute strength within a couple of generations after they escape the pen, and it doesn't matter whether they travel alone - they are one of the most belligerent beasts on this planet, and only one of them can easily kill you. Even under the fog of domestication, they are nasty enough to take down the person attached to the hand which feeds them if they catch him unwary, and will within a few minutes completely consume you without leaving a trace, not even the bone!
Bears. BEARS, Stupid! They're everywhere, including New York and Boston, and they are known to go shopping on city streets in search of easy garbage pickings, and will not think twice about knocking somebody down for whatever looks tasty out beyond Suburbia. Who cares that they travel alone, when they sure don't! Oh, and you will definitely need at least a few 30-30 slugs to stop one of these!
Mr. Hanky loves you!

Gawdzilla can take out bears, wolves, and wild boar with his kendo stick.
I'll just use my AR10.

You -- and your teachers, apparently -- should hear them gather here, then. It's a nightly occurrence during the summer and fall.

Well, I prefer substance to vapidity myself, but hey, if it makes you happy, keep on keepin' on.

If so, why the current posting style you're using?

aaaaand now you're reduced to "NO U"?
I posted cogent points with supporting data -- points which you deftly ignored.
Apparently a case of casting pearls before swine.

lol, and you can hear them for miles. Sure. Clearly you're being deliberately obtuse.
Anyway, over and out. You don't merit any further attention.

You can hear them for miles. What part of that don't you understand?
And thank you for going away, you've been as tedious and petulant as ever.

It's always the petulant asshole who stubbornly refuses ever to leave.
Because he's an asshole.
Now that I've seen enough of your shit,
and the worst of stinking shit it truly is
Now it's finally time to say to you
B'bye to you, Asshole.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

I had to use my super-duper zoom lens to take this pic. Oh, wait, I didn't -- it was 100' from my driveway. I walked about thirty seconds to take this picture:

Probably most of it, judging from the percipience we're seeing on display here.

I'm not going away; I'm simply not going to give your idiocy any more attention. None so blind as those who think they see. Inb4 another "NO U".
If you don't like my posting, put me on ignore.
