Hey, it's not just the coyotes you have to worry about. On Tuesday I was in Rocky Mountain National Park on a day hike, eating lunch and relaxing on the shore of Odessa Lake. There didn't appear to be any animals around, although we saw some fresh elk tracks/scat. Then, a single female mallard duck swam across the lake in a beeline towards us, walked up to my hiking companion, bit him on the toe, then jumped back into the water and swam away. We may have been 'armed for bear,' but apparently not 'armed for duck.'
