In front of my house...this morning

There is something so primal about wolves. I've heard them howl while in Alaska years ago. Hope to see them begin to repopulate the northeast.

He was really "wolfing" that down...
That wolf is big...and bad..
Was that on Wallstreet?

Here we have coyotes, and they sing at night, and I love it!

We have 5 11 month old Cattle Dogs/Red Heelers that set out in the yard at night and howl back at the coyotes in the forest around our property. It's pretty hysterical to hear.

I read somewhere where the coyotes can tell how well the area is populated with other yotes by the number of 'return howls' they get when they howl so as far as I'm concerned our dogs can howl away. They say that the more howls they hear, the smaller litters the coyotes have in the early spring.

We do have some big coyotes here though. German Shepherd sized at times. So far we haven't had any come close to the house here but we did when we lived in IL. One set by the house one night and had a bark out with our dogs who were in their yard. It was a juvenile coyote. Once again. Pretty funny to hear.

could be one of them eastern coyotes though, in the trapping world lots call them half wolf half coyote as there much bigger then our western coyotes.

They are all big enough to take my birds.

I live in the country, nature rules. I was careful when I built my coop/run. I am delinquent in installing my electric fence...
