Popular Post smudge ★ Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted October 20, 2019 sigh......... I don't think they were wolves the other night. I think they were only coyotes. I checked the howl difference on YouTube, and wolves don't seem to do the yippy yappy stuff coyotes do. This pack was doing the yippy yappy stuff. sigh.... Ya, I'm dumb. But now I know the difference. I'm not so afraid of coyotes, but a pack of wolves is still scary to me. None-the-less, thanks to the guys who kept me company through the critter howls. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted October 20, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 20, 2019 ? we forgive you! We have a lot of coyotes out here and they do get really yippie. WOChrisL and I were walking in a nature path which we know has coyotes and we heard a pack of them really close in the bushes yipping. We couldn’t see them in the bushes so WOChrisL wanted to get a closer look so walked towards the bushes and one huffed at her in a low growl. She backed up and let them be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted October 20, 2019 It was probably this guy and his buddies. Ya, that's my shed in the background. No, I was not in it at the time. TNPUSAH-054113-GVVWC_1571095849000.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted October 20, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 20, 2019 When the coyotes get together and holler around here, I like to call it a block party. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted October 20, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2019 Very smart of you to look up the differences and I''m glad you will have less worry about wolves for the future. If it were me, I'd have siad ilooked it up and the sounds turned out to be dinosaurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted October 20, 2019 Share #11 Posted October 20, 2019 Here’s what the ones around here look like. I would not like to have these come after me. I saw one that got himself trapped in the neighbor’s pasture. About the size of a German Shepher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in front a coyote less than 4 metres away ..it happened twice when I was cycling in the city in Vancouver....and also here in prairie city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted October 21, 2019 Share #14 Posted October 21, 2019 coyotes are a yappy bread for sure.. they chirp more then howl. still a 9mm round in their general direction will scare them off... wolves on the other hand will try and investigate where the shot came from.

They kill a lot of livestock and are hunted heavily because of it. They got our favorite cat a few years ago. I think they must have eliminated the local pack, it’s been pretty quiet lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted October 21, 2019 Share #16 Posted October 21, 2019 It's a lot more fun, in a Jack Londonish way, to have a wolf pack circling than a couple of coyotes. Although that one LJ pictured could get your attention. It's your utilitarian bike shed, where you can let your dreams and imagination run wild......enjoy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted October 21, 2019 Share #17 Posted October 21, 2019 I’ve told this before, on my first DC to Pittsburgh Adventure I lost a piece off my tentpole when I took down my tent the first morning. After that I was unable to keep the tent up. I would set the tent up and it looked ok but a half hour later it would collapse on me. I was sharing my campsite on the C&O with a lady from South Africa. There was only about six feet between our tents. In the middle of the night a coyote walked between our tents and started howling. The South African lady woke up and screamed: “What in the hell is that? It sounds like a hyena.” I laughed and told her it was a coyote. She asked if it would hurt us. I said I hope not, my tent is collapsed on top of me and he could start chewing on me before I knew he was there. I think her scream scared it off for the night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted October 21, 2019 Share #18 Posted October 21, 2019 I've never heard or saw any coyotes as far as I know, so I checked their range and it is almost all of North Amurrica! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/Cypron-Range_Canis_latrans.svg Hmm, now to check the range of the woolof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf#/media/File:Grey_wolf_distribution_with_subdivisions.PNG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to correct you, but figured it was better to have you scared and safe & warm in the Camp Palace rather than the She Shed.

smudge ★ Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted October 21, 2019 Yup, that was it. I'm glad I was wrong; I'm not so afraid of coyotes as I am of wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
