I was out hiking on Dover Road tonite behind Bamber. Buddy was casing the adjacent woods out as usual and he flushed out a coyote. It started howling at Buddy. It sounded just like Bill's recordings only it was more agitated and short:
...yip, yip, yip...yowwwwwl!
It was actually bark/howling at Buddy. The sound rang throughout the forest. I was able to call Buddy back, and you know how dogs are. He stood there grinning at me, like, whats the big deal?
The coyote was maybe 10 yards off the roads in thick brush. I thought it unwise to approach him. He followed us parallel through the woods for a while, keeping up that otherworldly howl. It was a tense few minutes. At one point I yelled at the woods to keep him from getting too close to me.
I think it must have been a juvenile in a den. If it was larger it probably would have been more tolerant and/or dangerous.
