Thanks for the share, things are tough in the valley, just trying to figure out if you are edible

Last Sunday I hiked into one of my cams and when I was done messing with it this guy started up right behind me howling and barking like crazy!  His barking and howling, etc probably lasted 20 plus minutes while I sat and watched.   

The video is just for the sound, you can't see him in the trees.  It's pretty loud in the video, but sitting there it was much louder!

That dude will be lucky to make it through general season if he keeps that up

He knows your there, he's doing it on purpose barking at you like that. It's a trick they like to use. My guess is you are close to something he doesn't want you to be. Either their den, or a kill or something. I've seen them do this numerous times. It's his way to get you to follow him in another direction

That dog looks to be wearing a more expensive necklace than my wife has. Love seeing taxpayer dollars at use here.

I've noticed these have two types of collars.  This one looks plasticky and is bigger.  Must be GPS?  The others look smaller and more metallic looking, maybe those are the radio ones.

In the video you can laugh at the different sounds, woops, whistles, etc I tried on it. 

Consider yourself lucky it didn't try to mount your leg.

They love and are thriving in the new/old burns.   The wildfires have been fantastic for them.  Sight hunting.   It’s completely changed how deer are reacting or acting in the high country.
