Went down to Warric co on Sun to a buddys place and ran into a den. Scared the heck out of me. We were hunting about a 150 acre wood lot surrounded by cow pasture. It was still dark and we were on the edge of the woods waiting for a gobble. Well, after we heard a couple birds that were close, we started moving into the woods, and thought we heard a dog bark. As we got a little deeper we heard something moving around, making a strange sound, about 15 feet away from us. I saw this little animal start making its way towards us through this huge bush, so I stepped behind my bud since he had the gun. My first thought was a badger or something, but I didn't think they were that far south. Ended up being a coyote pup that was growling and trying to attack us. Couldn't tell how many there were, but I about pooped my pants. We walked about 30 more feet once we figured out what they were, and the mom started in on us. She wasn't 50 yards away just barking and howling. Needles to say, the birds stayed up in the trees till about 7:30 central time.

I caught a small coyote pup a couple years ago with my bare hands. That dude tried to tear me up, but they look so innocent that little.

 As much as I dislike Coyotes, I couldnt bring myself to killin a litter of pups, just dosent seem right to me. After all they are just another one of God's creatures, they serve their purpose by taking out the weak and sickly animals preventing the spread of disease. I have never seen one take out a healthy deer or even a healthy turkey for that matter. If ya want to kill them then hunt them, I cant fault ya for that, but at least give them a sporting chance. Glad to hear all turned out alright, and congrats on doin "the right thing" at least in my opinion.

Wow, I didn't know you guys dislikes yotes that much. I tend to agree with gobblefreak. I'll shoot a adult in season, but not helpless pups out of season. lol on the "bang" response though oneshot!! That was too funny.

I have never had issues with coyotes till one of my nesting geese lost her 3weeks of hard efforts to a coyote. Now my opinion is if it eats eggs its got to go.
