Title: Coyote Bites in AZ
Post by: Heredoggydoggy on March 14, 2012, 08:05:14 PM
I heard a blurb on the radio today about a hospital in Arizona that was treating a lot of Coyote Bites.  Anybody have more info on this?

Thanks!  Nothing there, but a link to the Arizona Republic paper's site had an article about 3 coyote attacks in Peoria, AZ in Maricopa County, and a video about a couple that had a coyote walk into their house.

hmmm. not sure then. AZcentral usually has just about every Arizona related article available. I did however find the 3 attacks in less than 24 hours quite interesting!

This, added to the incident where a coyote at an Arizona coyote derby ran up to an e-caller hanging in a bush and attacked it!  Those Arizona coyotes must be mean suckers!

I was camped at Bullhead city yesterday and called two into about 30ft just behind the camper.  I stood up and yelled at them, they just stood there pissed that I got their meal befor them.  The aren't too afraid of anything here.

The call getting ripped out of a bush happenned to me at the Predator Masters Hunt in New Mexico last month.  The call still has teeth marks on the speaker.  She jumpped about 4 ft up into a thorny bush to get it.  I didn't get her but I did get her partner, they came in at a dead run.

Sounds like the coyotes are being fed by people, and now think they're owed a handout.  When my mother was living at the edge of a wooded area, she used to put food scraps out for a fox and watch him come in every night, until I told her it was not a good idea to be doing that, so she stopped doing it.  Wild aniomals can get really mad when their welfare is cut off--just like some people.  :rolleyes:

Sounds like the local AZ dogs have found the maryjane grows.  :yike:
