The past year we have had 6 dogs attacked by coyotes while being walked. This was in suburbia,not the woods. Three dogs died and the remainder were injured.
Three women were attacked by a rabid bobcat,again,in the suburbs.
The state fish & game says that we don't have a coyote problem. These are the same folks that said there are no cougar/mountain lions in the state. Until one got hit and killed by a car on a major highway.
The state then did a DNA on it and said that it was from South Dakota. I guess he was just visiting for the week end.
A knife won't help you with this stuff. Consider your choices wisely.
