Damm thing's costing me sleep?
Living in the rural, and in the bush, pretty used to them? See and here them more in the fall and winter, but last night seemed just wrong? Local hunt groups here do well all winter long, and I sting them if they encroach the rest of the year. Also keep a large outdoor dog, who doesn't share his turf well, Lassie has a dark side for yotes, seen the results.
He's a working dog, has a boundary and purpose, have watched him late at night make his rounds then retire back to deck couch.
He has a alarm bark you seldom hear, many times have woke up to racoon, possum, skunk or yote, dead in the yard, and never heard a thing? Last night, 1AM, was the grab the rifle howl?
Damm thing, (yote), was staying out of dog's electric zone, and flash lite, but would not stop barking, went on for 20 minutes or more, barking so much like domestic dog, at first thought it was another stray\drop off. Near the end of this, yote howl became more prevalent. Then again at 4AM, out front of property at the road, howling this time, more then 1, sounded like 21, prob only a couple???
Seen them in Feb so hungry they'll almost knock on the patio door, but not this time of year? My guess is young of this year feeling their oats??
