Man suffers injuries while fighting off 3 attacking coyotes | KDVR.com
The link has a video interview with the victim showing the extent of his injuries (young guy in early 20's and in good shape)

DENVER A Longmont man was attacked by a pack of coyotes while he walked to work early Monday morning near Niwot.
Three coyotes attacked him and he had to receive treatment for numerous bloody gashes after he was able to fight them off.
He says he has been walking to work since his vehicle broke down.

Wildlife officials say they found two of the three animals and put them down. The experts say their aggressive behavior meant it was likely they would attack someone again.


Coworkers say they will give the man a ride to work in the future, so he doesn稚 have to face a similar situation again.

"he thought he might have accidentally provoked them" and did not want the coyote's put down. As Bugs Bunny would say "what a maroon" Not only did he not have a gun, he did not even have a knife..What flavor of moron walks the road at night without a good knife?... I do not understand that kind of behavior. And I have to ask, this, how in the heck do they know they killed 2 of the coyotes that attacked him? Just because they were in the area? Did they check their Id's? Clothing description of the coyotes? Give me a break.. the whole story is typical of news stories. Full of sensationalism, and liberal crap. yeah, yeah, I know, I am an old curmudgeon with a bad attitude, but at least I have a knife at all times, and and a nice handgun on me most of the time.

A baseball bat would have been helpful and legal, even if the guy had a felony charge some time back...

Not really so. A felon with a baseball bat walking down a dark road is going to get blamed for every dented mailbox for ten miles.

I prefer to stay felony free and have my Sig Sauer handy for pesky Coyotes (or felons) that try to do me harm. The Kershaw or Case would work in a pinch, but that's lets them get closer than I like...

Coyote attacks on humans are rare but it does happen, especially when the humans are walking dogs.

I wonder what he did to accidentally provoke the coyotes? Feed them?
