More than 10 years ago I shot a very large coyote that was stalking my dog and I. This was on my almost daily hike at my hunting club across the street from my home.
As soon as it was down the woods all around me erupted with wailing wolf howls; a dozen animals easy.
I cursed the fact that I only had 10 rounds in my Glock 20. I had 2 reloads , but still....
I leashed up the pup on a tight rein and kept my pistol in my hand the whole time these howling canines followed us home a mile and a half through the woods. I caught glimpses of them and could hear them moving through the brush. The pup was scared. She was a little sweetie. I was pissed. I wanted a clear shot at another one.
