Its a hard story to tell. I do not know why, just is. I was at Camp Irwin. Kind of more scary than any Marine base. If you step on this flower you will be arrested. If you look at this rabbit the wrong way you will be arrested. The coyotes are going to be your enemy. They are protected under California law, if you mess with them you are going to be arrested. They will antagonize you. You better seal you food up tight. If they come to your camp and steal your treats they are in the right. Man I miss stuff like that, like people actually cared. My Sergeant did not seal his food right and the coyotes came. I woke up like 2 in morning, who knows, no cell phones in those days, using star power. . They were not even being aggressive, which made it more funny. Shu, they duck and dodge, who you shuing. I started laughing. Then the whole tent started to hear his shues get louder. We remained silent though. It was funny as hell. People usually like who is messing up my sleep,. the whole tent remained quiet snirking and you could feel it. It became to much so I threw a rock at the coyotes and the whole tent just went into laughter. The tiny shu from one of the most respected people. He was small but everyone respected him had like 30 years military service and took care of everyone. That one I will never forget. Everyone has their kryptonite

I thought coyotes were dangerous, especially when they are in a pack...

They can be but they are smart, people do not know how smart they are. They are nearly as smart as wolves. Why they were warned is because coyotes used to Army training ground. No matter what they teach there is fools everywhere. Coyotes like wolves will only attack if really hungry, most other times they play around to get easy food. They like people, do not make us show our dark side.
