A local man was attacked by coyotes in his own backyard and spent most of Friday night in the emergency room.
They include that detail as though it means his injuries were bad or something.
If you don't want to wait all night in the ER, then show up with life-threatening problems. You get whisked right through.
If you want to wait until almost everyone else has been seen, then show up with something that could go untreated a couple of days without posing a serious risk to your health.
I've heard packs of 40 to 50 of em from the howls in the woods behind my house but I've never seen them. Creepy cause I was a couple hours out from anywhere. I guess Ill make sure to carry my sidearm just to be safe.

chances are, there were 10 or fewer in the woods - when they get to talking to each other, it sounds like a roomful of 'em chattering....

My guess is more like 4-5. I've seen a pack that size and the howl sounds like an auditorium full of them.
Based on his side of the story, sounds like this asshole went over and tried to pet them and got nipped. Coyotes do not attack humans; small dogs and cats, maybe, but never people.

I hope so. I go for walks where there are coyotes. I'm not walking a small dog/coyote treat, but still. If there are half a dozen of them, and they're really hungry?
Maybe I should get one of those stout walking sticks.
I've seem some pretty aggressive coyotes since moving here. One attacked my littlest dog ( shes a 30lb tough as nails cattle dog) but this female did not want to let go. 4 hard as i could kicks later she dropped Abby and trotted off. She kept looking back though waiting for me to drop my guard but she never tried to bite me.
HotWingAgenda is probably right. Got too close and got scratched. His fault.
I think I'd contact the Department of High Speed Projectiles.

The My Little Pony Killer: If there's a coyote in your neighborhood, chances are it was the coyote's neighborhood first.
True. And as long as they don't attack me, we'll get along just fine.

Bit'O'Gristle: If he had been armed with the hunting weapon of choice, the bushmaster in .223, he would have been fine.
Because when you're being swarmed by smaller animals, a rifle with a long barrel is ideal, right?
