It could have happened. I have spent a lot of time in the mountains in my life. During the day, animals tend to keep their distance. At night, their treatment of you is entirely different because they have the advantage (coloration, tapetum lucidum in the eyes, etc.). At night, humans are on the menu. It's why shark attacks, hyena attacks, crocodile attacks, etc. happen at dusk.
Coyotes are typically pretty skittish towards humans, and attacks are extremely rare given how many coyotes there actually are in the US and Canada, even towards women. The idea of a wild coyote, unprovoked, attacking a full grown, standing, healthy man is pretty much preposterous unless it was rabid.
100% BS. Coyotes do NOT attack humans. If it were rabid it might let a person get close enough to get bitten. Has he started his series of rabies shots? No? Then he's talking up a line of nonsense.
