My neighbor has a friend that lives about 3/4 mile away that had his 110+ lb pit bull in a 6' high 6'x 10' kennel in his back yard for a couple of hours in the am. He heard the dog barking & a ruckus outside & walked out to see 3 coyotes trying to climb the sides of the kennel to get at his dog. I don't think that they wanted to engage him in 'play'.
These same 3 coyote pack showed up a couple of streets from me cornoring a small dog on his deck & were about to attack when the owner heard the noise & walked out & chased them away.
We have a fair amount of coyote sitings in my neighbordood. Most likely this one pack. I have woods behind my house & there are alot acres of wooded areas right around my neigthborhood. I have seen coyotes outside my fenced yard in the woods on several occasions. I live in a suburb in SW CT.

Annes story about her friends pitty is similar to the one I know about the American bulldog. Only he was in the back yard, not protected by a kennel.
They ripped him open from throat to stomach. He almost died. If every one in the house hadn't run out banging pots and pans they would have absolutely killed him.

Speaking of coyotes......my neighbor just called me to tell my one was headed my way running thru the woods. Yep, he just went by my back fence. He looked like he is almost the size of my female(63 lbs). He has to be closer to 45-50 lbs even being a bit skinny. A good size. The Eastern coyotes are bigger then the western ones.
Glad my dogs are in the house at this point. I have a 6' stockade fence surrounding the sides & back of my propery. I know that they basically can jump 5' but 6' is pushing it for them.(one of the reasons my fence is 6').
This is the first time that I've seen one out there during the mid day. They are usually around at dawn & dusk for the most part. Guess they are hungry with all the snow that we have been having, making food more scarce for them.

I've seen them during the day when riding my horse out on the trails or out hiking, or at the barn etc. But this is the first time that I've seen one out my back fence during the day & I am out there with my dogs, in the yard or on the deck, almost all of the time that they are out in the yard & that's usually 4-5 hours or more every day.
I live 2hrs west of Chicago, and yes the coyotes are big, but most are coydogs(spelled wrong probably) but i would never put my dogs up against coyotes because like mike said they will kill the dogs. The ones here live in huge packs and are real mangy. Plus they are looking for food being winter and all.

If you must walk there, buy or borrow a decent BB or pellet gun (not a cheesy toy). IME coyotes have great respect for gunfire of any type. You don't have to hit them
