What do I do if a coyote follow me?

Are you talking about the animal or men?

If a man follows you, you have several options to feel a little safer. Turn on the GPS location signal on your smartphone, dial 9-1-1 but don't press the call button. Get your keys in your leading hand between the index and the middle finger with the pointy ends facing outward so that you can hit the assailant if needed. If the assailant attempts anything with you, just hit that dial button and leave the phone on while talking to the assailant. That will enable the police to locate you. Try to casually mention the general area where you are located to make it easier for the police to find you.

Now if the coyote is of the animal kind, try to find a stick and slowly move backwards, facing the coyote and look as menacing as possible.

Back away slowly with your front towards it, showing your back is a sign of extreme weakness in the wild because it's a big vulnerable spot meaning your easy prey and if your not looking at it you can't see what it's doing.

Don't run away because it activates wild predators chase instinct, which will result in them going into hunting mode because then they see you as prey. Plus coyotes can run up to 43 miles an hour so you'd never get away if you did run.

But if the coyote is alone then it's most likely not gonna do anything. Coyotes naturally are pretty timid animals and typically avoid humans. So if you ever find yourself in that situation chances are you'd be fine. If anything it'd probably just be curious.

The only time I'd really be concerned is if a whole pack approached you.

Hope that helps put your mind at ease.

I would get my thick leather belt and make him regret every single second. I'm not sure if you have one

If it follows you home, it’s a free puppy! 😂

Run away.

[Phoenix98]

Don't ever do that. Running away from wild predators activates their chase instinct, often turning a non-threat into prey. Plus you'd never get away coyotes can run up to 43 miles an hour.

They're naturally timid animals thought and typically try to avoid humans so unless a whole pack approaches you, you'd be fine the vast majority of the time.

@Phoenix98 yea when I said run away I didn’t mean in a run the marathon kind of way more like get the fck out of there without antagonizing the coyote

I gotcha that's my bad for the misunderstanding.
