    But mangy dogs can’t throw lead!

    I thought coyotes would more be BB guns.

    Also, do NOT underestimate the power of a slingshot and lead bullets.

    I suppose like I should not underestimate the power of a coyote.

    Although I am pretty sure that 1 on 1 I would take down a coyote in hand to hand combat. I think I could manage up to a kangaroo.

      Unless you can bench press 3x+ your body weight, you would be a roo warm up. Even ignoring their muscle, they fight with 4 arms, each with claws as long as your pinky finger.

      I do not underestimate a slingshot with any ammo, but I also dont underestimate dogs with mange.

      And while coyotes are definitely a big deal for things smaller than us, we are big enough to give lone yotes pause. Wolves? Fuck, dude, wolves are huge. A lone sick wolf could kill you without effort. Thats a boar level threat. Wolf to coyote def makes the yote look like a sling shot
