Son was bitten by a coyote Tueday night. Coyote chased his girlfriend into the back of their truck and her screams brought the son running out to see what was going on. The Coyote turned on him and bit him on his lower left leg. He managed to grab it by the back of the neck and hold it down while a firearm was retrieved, and the coyote killed. Most of the event was captured by his outside security cameras.
The carcass was sent off by county animal control for testing, and the results came back just now, positive for rabies.
Son is getting the first post exposure shots now.
Not sure, but this may be the first documented case of an attack in N.C.

Y'all be careful out there!!

Yikes, I hope your son does fine with the shots!

I'll be reminding the family to be watchful and stay armed!

Sad to hear this, wondering how the Yoter became sick.

Damn. Hope it turns out OK, good thing he had the balls and presence of mind to grab it and hold it down.

Where abouts are you in NC. We have quite a few coyotes right here in Mooresville.

Thanks guys. The 'boy' is pretty tough, lol. Been hunting, fishing, trapping, working rough jobs his whole life. Great dad to his daughter and stepson, raising them right. The granddaughter is the one that actually fetched her 22 and put the 'yote down.

We're in Iredell county, about 40 miles (too damn close) north of Charlotte

Glad your son got it to the testing folks. Best wishes for the shots working well for him.

And yes, having relatives in NC, I'm interested too in where your son is.

Dang man, you’re not 15 miles north of me. I’ll have to keep an eye out on the back yard.

Lady at the Mount Ulla post office just showed me a picture of a coyote just a bit off her back porch. A coyote with rabies is a big problem. I hope we aren’t in for a bad year with that stuff. Gary, I wish your son well with the treatment. I’m glad it wasn’t any worse than what it was. Thanks for letting us know about this.

Sounds like the shot series is in order, should all go well.

I saw a coyote last summer, small local airport, at high noon. The coyote didn’t show a care in the world. I told the management guy about it, don’t have the outcome. I do know, this coyote wasn’t right in the head.

I had the Shots when I was a kiddo. Not much fun back then.
Supposed to be a much easier ordeal, nowadays.
Our old family Dr told us the shots were 100 % effective.

Wilkeshunter, where are you located? If you know where Mt. Ulla is, you have to be pretty close to me, lol

Seriously, thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes.

Hey Gary,

I’m in Mount Ulla off Hwy 801, about a mile from the Iredell line. How about yourself?

Mt Ulla isn’t exactly a destination location. For the uninformed it’s pronounced “Uhh’-luh”

Glad the outcome was no worse than it was Gary. I heard of another yote in the China Grove area that took a family cat from the backyard. People don't realize how many there are in our area. All you have to do is listen on a clear night when a siren goes off and they will fire up all around. I'm over by High Rock Lake and I hear them all the time, even had them on trail camera in the backyard.
