The professor that taught a wildlife biology class studied wolves. He awoke in the mornings to find where the pack had watched him all night, he was not afraid of being attacked. Of, course this same guy parked us in the middle of a herd of bison and told us just not too make any sudden moves as we got out of the vehicles.
Not sure coyotes are that much of a threat either, I walked near a pack and they kept their distance. I rather like hear them howling, but I would be worried about my dog. Music is supposed to scare them away though, not attract. On 05 May 2011, at 10:22, daniel turner wrote:
Once a coyote wandered to within 50 yards. I had been quiet so he didn't know I was there and started to howl to his friends accross the valley. That was so scary that now I always play a small transistor radio softly on a music station. This warns the critters that a human is there.
Alternately it tells the carnivores dinner is there. :)
