We lived on a golf course in southern CA in 20 years ago. It was a really lovely small community and had a wide gated boulevard. I was walking down the boulevard one day and 3 coyotes were walking towards me. They never veered. When they were about 25 feet away, I scooted into the gatehouse and was amazed that they walked right by. These creatures have been and are being displaced. Although they may have been more shy, they are becoming less so as time passes and they become accustomed to mankind's lifestyle. If they are hungry, they will take the chance of grabbing a little dog. Make no mistake. Better to be vigilant and respect their lifestyle.
