So I am really wondering...did I do the right thing by high-tailing it out of there? I really don't know if my adrenaline was making me over-react to the coyote or what. I was just so shocked that this animal did not run away from me or try to hide. It seemed so interested and curious as to what I was going to do. But when it did start following me I was really scared for a few minutes considering I was completely alone on this path and all I had to protect me was a cell phone. This sounds so naive but do coyotes chase people or attack them? I have seen so many snakes along this same path and even ran over one last summer. I once saw a water moccasin crossing this path that was ENORMOUS. But still I knew the snakes just want to get away from me. The coyote - I'm not so sure about. Should I be worried about encountering one there again?
