James Pulliam was just out for a smoke in Roxboro, North Carolina when his chill evening turned into a full-on wildlife showdown—kind of like John Wick vs. a rabid coyote. After some rock tossing, a fall, and an airborne coyote attack, James caught the thing mid-leap, got bit, yanked his hand free, and straight-up choked the animal out until help arrived. He’s now recovering from the bites and some brutal rabies shots, but the guy basically became a local legend after an incident like that. Something else to think about is that you can swap North Carolina woods for a back pasture or a dusty trailhead, and this could just as easily happen out here. Coyotes don’t check state lines—so maybe be aware and keep that smoke break close to the porch!
