Will coyotes bit you? Yes, and so will your neighbor's dog! We have lots of coyotes here in Montana and we I see them in my yard when I spend the winter in Arizona. Like any wild animal I respect them but I am not afraid of them. Would I have fished in a place where I heard coyotes howling or in a place where I saw coyotes in the area? If I had come to fish it would take more than a pack of coyotes to keep me in the car.
