What do I do if I see a pack of coyotes in the wild?

You may already be too late to run away.  But here’s some general tips to help you stay safe:  Don’t stand between a pack and its prey, don’t make eye contact, back away slowly, and use whatever objects you have at hand as defensive weapons.  A big stick might help.  So could a gun, if you’re lucky enough to have one.

I want to scare them, not to injure them.

Just making loud noises, such as with a loud whistle or screaming, is a good way to scare coyotes off.

Yes, I agree that the best way to scare them is to make lots of noise and throw things at them, but the coyotes might not feel the same way.
