[at-l] Coyote Attack

[JPL]

I've heard them in Shenandoah NP, so I assume they're along the trail.

  This attack was in Nova Scotia.

  I've heard coyotes only in Cohuttas, late one night falling asleep
  after a long hike.
  I heard their calls to chase prey and I heard their foot steps very
  close by in a dark, moonless night.
  Their calls are not dissimilar to the jackal calls I knew as a kid in
  south asia.
  I've known ferrel and trained dogs to attack humans, but I wasn't
  aware of coyotes doing this.

  Has anyone heard coyotes along the AT?
  They must cross it or run near it in some places.
