What, if anything, are they known to do that is potentially concerning? What are recommended countermeasures and safety precautions?
There seem to be at least four voices.
Just this afternoon, I watched an episode of "I was Prey" where this dude detailed the vicious attack he withstood from three coyotes. I won't go into details, but suffice it to say that one coyote won't bother you, but as a pack, they don't pass up a meal easily.
