Answer 1

my idea would be to make as much noise as possible. if you run it will likely chase you. if you walk backwards or slowly move away you should be ok as well. Your best bet is to try not to startle any wild animal in its OWN habitat. Making loud noises and not runing away but walking should do the trick. I usually just keep on doing what im doing.

that would be my best guess.  

Answer 2

First, it's a coyote! Second, your friend lied if she says she outran a coyote.

Answer 3

Running is not a very good idea, you can't outrun one.  A human can run at a max speed of around 10mph a coyote around 30mph.  Stand your ground a look as big as possible.  A big stick is good too.  

Coyotes generally don't see adult humans as prey.

Answer 4

Turn towards it yell and scream act as an attack.

Answer 5

If it is in daylight they could be Rabid ,but at night U are in there territory.
