Author Topic: Interesting and unexpected yote experience today update (Read 5200 times)

I went to scout a new deer spot today on some nearby land in Pierce County. While hiking back i got about half a mile in and all of a sudden all hell broke loose. About 50 yards to my front left came a yip yip howl. 2 seconds later came a response from front right about the same distance. Then another response from far far away behind me. What did i walk into? I left without incident but the howls went on for 2 to 3 minutes as i was backing out with my side arm drawn. Did they have a kill, just being territorial, or what was it?

You just walked into a area and they did not know that you were there. Coyotes talk a lot and right at sun up and sun down they are very vocal. They were probably out hunting and separated and were just checking in with each other.

Sounds like a warning howl/bark I hear that sound just about every time I get busted. They saw you and had to let all the buddy's know there is danger. Often barks or yips fallowed by short sharp howl. Also often repeated a few times. Jme

Follow up to this, i placed a cam the following day on that property. Nothing yote related til now, pulled the pics today.

First one for sure a yote, opinions on the 2nd? Dog or yote?

Ears don't seem right for a yote. Kinda fat too maybe?

I was thinking not hairy enough ears and not quite big enough.

Dog. Hair is short and there are no hackles at all

I've seen quite a few dogs on this cam, just never this one if it is a dog.

Funny. The first picture you'd say, "coyote for sure." Second one you'd say, "dog for sure." If it's up to no good, shoot it and find out.

I need to move this cam farther in. Too many dogs. Got yotes on 2 other days, and lots of deer when they show up (when 1 deer shows up, 4 or 5 more are with it). I just think it's too close to the dirt road to get consistent action.
