They are stealthy, quick to react, can move fast and I can verify are very difficult to hit with a scoped .243 rifle out on a ranch in broad daylight! Please, do not try to shoot one in an urban environment with a handgun! Use pepper spray or the like.
If you know of a nearby coyote den, find a trapper to take care of it.

We are from AZ and lived out in the desert 🌵 with the coyotes. They are very smart animals and will out witt you every time. Pepper spray is ok but chances are if they are that close you are already in big trouble. We are trained using firearms and I would have one on me to use as a last use option.
