EVOL! Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I didn't think coyotes ran in packs or that they were that strong. I know a single timber wolf could tear a man into ribbons, but a coyote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well, speaking from my 44 years in Texas, Kansas and Arizona I can tell you that they are solitary animals for the most part. They pack up now and then, you can hear the noise they make, but they rarely attack anything as big as they are. Stacks the odds in their favor. In the desert, they will somtimes attack dogs dumb enough to think a coyote would want to play with them, but primarily subsist on rodents and reptiles with the odd rabbit. Puppies on the loose? They're history. Even wolves - though much more capable - are very unlikely to attack an adult human. Odd story indeed. Seriously, I wonder how big this gal was? I mean, if she's like 4'11" and 85 pounds or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You think we can get some travel agency to give buckethead and petrucci free tickets to canada? I know most agencies give you 1 free ticket for every 10 you buy... so what we should do is ask for forum member contributions, then we just buy 20 tickets, find 20 country players to give them to and use the 2 free tickets on BHead and JPetrucci.
