Ambushed while pesting for chipmunks BY COYOTES

WELL Titus and I have been in fierce battles with chipmunks as fall is here and weather cooling down , The ground cherries and grapes are ripening and the CHIPMUNKS ARE RELENTLESS , Titus and I have changed our Optics for battle this year to red dots , I run my Leshiy with a H-2 aimpoint red dot and a flip eotech 3x mag nifier when I need to reach out , Titus ran the Lelya with a EOTECH 4 dot and is deadly 86 yds as well , 

SO we saw many chipmunks in a wood pile on east side of pond and they active from 11 pm to 5 am mostly , so , we took off red dots and I ran the ATN THERMAL , so like 11pm we greased like 10 then I saw in woods like 3 animals inching at Titus and I , I knew one big tree down is like 3 ft high in woods , One snuck by it , he was like almost 30 inches tall , at this point I saw one of their faces it was a coyote , and knew they were sneaking up on us for the kill , I said to Titus who has been in many battles , do you want to battle now till death ? My thoughts we are outgunned , lets make a run for it and bring out the big guns as my leshiy while deadly but it cant stop a 50 pound coyote with 27fpe , so we deployed some smoke and made run for it ,

Well we made it back and we re gunned our selves and make a plan 

WE got bigger guns up and ready for battle

I spend maybe 2 nights a week outdoors in coyote country. We got a 30 pound dog and a 50 pound dog. The coyotes always get close but more out of curiosity. We never got "attacked" even if a dead jack rabbit hangs in the tree next to us. My bigger dog had a few hundred encounters over the last 5 years with only 2 scratches because coyotes usually run off. Coyotes got to be very hungry before they go for a bigger dog or even you, most of them try to avoid encounters unless they know that they win. .You are not on the menu.
