Haven't seen one of those in a while

So I put my shoes on and just start to walk out the door to the barn when I see...a lone coyote. It was so unexpected, I haven't heard them of heard of anyone seeing any including us who live in the woods. I just stood there, actually almost trembling and on the borderline of peeing my pants because it was like a total wtf moment. He...or she I don't now, stopped, turned and looked at me and trotted away into the woods. I did not want to walk out there in the dark alone. I'm a chicken. xD So hopefully I don't hear any or see any more. That sighting ruined the whole non-coyote sighting and hearing of the season and most of the year. Bleh. >.<
