I was out in Ontario working on a trench line for the upcomming April movie shoot.
My buddy had to head back to the farm to grab some tools so I was out there in the woods by myself.
Not 2 minutes after he left I heard some funny noises about 100 yards behind me, but figured, i was the woods, it was propbably some animals doing something.
Over the next ten minutes I heard the sound move to a place off to my left, but payed no attention to it.
Then I turned my back to that area to do some work. I kept hearing something comming through the woods towards me. I looked a couple times, but saw nothing. I figured it was a chipmonk or something of that sort.
A few minutes later, I heard something behind me. I turned around expecting to see the little chipmonk.
What I saw was a medium size coyote about 15 feet from me. I just about jumped out of my skin. I did not expect to see that. When I jumped, it scared him as much as me and he ran off as fast as he could.
Not having my glasses on at the time I noted that in the trees and scrubb, it looked just like a Mtn. lion.
I laughed to myself thinking how your eyes can play tricks on you.
I think it was just curious more than anything, but damn. This is the first time I ever went out there without a firearm. It will be the last.
Moral, go into the woods with a weapon, and when you hear something sneaking up behind you. LOOK!
