Andy....you aren't scared by a stupid Coyote are you? Me and a friend got surrounded by them with nothing but 2 large knives...and a few smaller ones... 
You make it sound like it was going to annilate you.
Afraid, nahhh. We use wounded rabbit calls to bring them in (we delibertly hunt them). Predator hunting is the best, I've hunted all types of deer, moose, elk, bear, hell even Caribou! Nothing is better than hunting varmits and predators.
As for eating what I kill, nope. The only exception is deer, elk, I make jerky dog treats out of Javelina. Even qual and dove, I eat the odd one at the start of the year, after that they go to the dogs. I hate people that say "I only hunt for food" I tell them to go hunting at Safeway then. You don't get that much meat off a deer to offset the cost of hunting.
