I was raised on the farm . We hunted coyotes as a sport. In fact some neighbors bought new trucks, bought and trained greyhounds and built boxes on the trucks for the dogs and went hunting. It is a sport like Fox and hounds.
Having said that, coyotes are cowards. They avoid active people unless rabid. They sneak in at night to steal chickens, they may kill pets. I moved into a new office building at the edge of town and we saw one coyote stroll by our building to go to scout the dumpsters behind restaurants 1/2 mile away. Wolves are aggressive types.
