I was catching up on PA just now and a pack of coyotes let loose behind the house. That is such a cool sound but it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I wonder if its an instinctive response dating back to our primitive ancestors. I hate the damage they do to our fawn population but I sure do enjoy listening to a pack get wound up. All the windows are open so it sounded like they were in the back yard. They are probably on the next ridge over. One had a deep howl. Must be a mature male. They seem to roam around our area. I'll go months without hearing them or getting any pictures of them on my trail camera. Here recently I've been hearing them and getting quite a few pictures. If given the opportunity I will take a shot at one in deer season.
I would love to listen to a pack of wolves one day.

Right on ... wonderful primal sound of nature.

I love the sound of them. Sort of like the evening choir tuning up at our place. I shot one from the ground at about seven yards last year. It started biting at the arrow and spinning around growling and damned near ran into me. I had sat still so long that I couldn't get out of his way fast enough to suit me. Scared the hell out of me for a second. :D

I live in a Rural area here in Mid-Michigan. I hear 'Yotes almost Daily. I'm with Ya Clint - I like hearing them, but don't like the Predation they do on Fawns and Turkey Polts. I shot one with a Selfbow also. Called Him in (squeeking on the back of My hand) and He stepped into the Lane I'd been stalking and turned 1/4ing away at 12 yards. Hit 'Em right in the Boiler Room with a Judo Point - He was dead before He hit the ground. I was amazed at the shock the Judo did at that range ! Bob

I like the sound of coyotes, like everything, they have a place in nature and they just sound so darn cool!

I love hearing them also, just wished I had to go somewhere besides my farm to listen to them. ;) :) :) Far far away :)

Like you Clint, the hair stands up on the back of my neck when I hear them. We have several in our area. I'm really wanting to thin the pack. Someday, I'll get serious and go after them.

I think it's a cool sound, and erie at the same time. Sometimes it sounds like they're are in our barnyard. Last year my wife seen 2 come out of the woods into the pasture and one of the horses and the mule when charging toward them. They went right back in the woods. I hope to hear wolves also. Was in the UP this summer, but didn't get to hear any wolves.

Almost every night here

Coyotes are my favorite sound.

Love coyotes, almost everything about them to me is cool. But I won't hesitate to shoot one with any weapon and I love calling em. Went scouting deer early in the season and was watching a doe and 2 fawns, had a yote come barreling almost into me. Had to be only a few yards, 357 mag dropped him right there.
As for wolves, I hate em. Never want to hear em unless I'm hunting em. Got packs all over NE Washington now and all big game populations have dropped. Haven't seen a moose in years.
