The heartbreaking death of young Canadian folksinger Taylor Mitchell from an extremely rare coyote attack this week makes me wonder what the risks are watching meteors, alone, at night, on a lawn chair (prone and two feet off the ground), in a remote area.  Are mountain lions, bears, wild dogs, coyotes, etc. more likely to attack you in certain areas of the country under those circumstances?  Have any of you had (or heard of) incidents, and do you take precautions?  Recommendations?

Just curious.

One more thing to worry about, I guess.

Best Regards,

David Oesper
