I had a coyote do that once. Caught a loner sneaking around the place, yelled at him to piss off and he didn't. I remember thinking why aren't they this bold when I have a rifle in my hands? So I picked up a branch and walked towards him at a brisk pace, thought maybe he'll think the branch is a gun and haul ass.
Instead, we had like a 15min stare down contest and when I got tired of it and started looking for rocks to lob at him, this little fucker calmly walks back
towards me up the drive way for about 20ft, turns tail and drops a load right there in the middle of my driveway, then trots away like nothing happened.
The....
audacity! Not even sure I can shoot that little bastard now, part of me is too impressed.
