Have you ever had an “encounter” with a Coyote?
“Encounter”…. what is it? Well, it is often defined as an “unexpected meeting.” Because people in our culture have little knowledge and experience with Coyotes [or other wildlife for that matter] persons who do unexpectedly meet coyotes most often do not understand a Coyote’s natural behavior, and most often their perspective is the result of fear.
That person misses an opportunity to fully experience the nature of this wild being…and be enriched and delighted by it.
