Ouch..she'll probably get the rabies treatment either way so I feel bad for her.

That being said, there's no season of bag limits on coyotes, is there?

Yep...yotes should be shot on sight.
Across the country the number of yote-human attacks has been rising, but there is yet to be an established correlation between the apparent growing number of rabid yotes and these attacks.
 
Yotes are losing their fear of humans. I hunt south GA and several years ago my average shot was around 300 yards and it's now within 200. They are actually coming all the way into the fields and very close to my caller which is on a 5 gal bucket in the middle of the field. I know my scent is all over the bucket as well as the field I walk to set it out but it's seeming to make no difference.
The last one I shot here at the house actually stopped and stared at me while I got my sight picture with my .45. Obviously a bad decision....
 
I was on my way back from Boy Scouts with my son one night about a year or more ago. When I was turning into the cul-de-sac I live on a big yote was standing in the intersection. It ran away from my car about 10 yards, then turned and charged back toward it, then took off running again. They are getting bolder for sure. Last several I've killed have been within easy pistol/shotgun range.
 
My cat killed one and drug it into the house. She is bad about doing things like that.

The coyotes near my house will not have anything to do with people. Bolt away at the slightest people-threat.
But I'm out in the woods.
When I go to the Asheville area to work, it's not uncommon to see them crossing the street in some of the neighborhoods.

Here lately they've been making a yapping racket near the edge of the woods. Got some of the neighbors a little worried. But they do this every winter when their food supply runs low up on the hill. They rarely come out of the trees, but if you have a pet or livestock that gets close to the treeline you should keep an eye on them.

But do they stay in the crosswalk?

In Asheville?
Hell no! They walk around in only what can best be described as a foggy-stupor.
At least my coyotes are smart enough to run away from a predator.
