What does a Coyote do when it sees you? what does a Wolf do?

[blakeyboy]

Lmfao, I escaped one, fight of my life, no more fears now.

If you're hunting remote areas from my experience, both coyotes and wolves will stand and observe you for a bit before deciding what they want to do.

Yes, wolves are magical, especially when they are trying to get at the beef calves.

Coyotes are not above chewing on the newborn in the process of being born.

We have a large male that will stand and eye you up. Then move into a near by bush line at his pace. Took my PAL, RPAL and hunter courses last week!

Female coyotes are breed by end of February, litters born march, April.
I'm an avid coyote whacker but personally try to leave them alone after January.
Reluctant to leave the female on her own with a litter, makes for a pretty hard go of it.

Spring fur is worthless and doesn't even make for a half decent home wall rug.
On the plus side of doing that, it provides more targets in the fall, LOL.
However, if a particular dog is causing problems around the farms, I don't care what time of year or day it is, down you go.
But each to their own, no worries.

No magic, just more and deeper reality. Spent time hunting and doing photos in parts of Africa with lions, and parts they’ve been exterminated. There’s something about taking a .375 on your shoulder when you walk off from camp to relieve yourself in the morning, I’ve never felt more alive taking a ####. North coast rivers during the salmon have the vibe too.

Apex predators keep a place wild. The sheer amount of exposure to apex predators, by volume, was one of the things that sold me on Zimbabwe, and sold my clients in BC on the north coast. Wolves howling still do it for me too. It’s APOTA.

Meaning it's a piece of the action, a part of the area, what?

I have noticed that if you are driving and see a wolf it will stop and look at you. But as soon as you stop they are gone. It's as if they know that if you are moving you can't shoot at them.

If they spot me, all the coyotes I've seen, turn and run. But I've had some good times observing them doing their thing. Looking for mice under the snow for instance.

Is possible that many Canadians - maybe some CGN posters - have never actually seen a live wolf - is much different than what some people seem to think a "grey wolf" might look like. Below is picture of "Nahanni" - was relatively well known in B.C. - that guy - Tommy Tompkins - used to bring the thing to various schools, etc. in B.C., I had read.



I had met this guy in Campbell River, B.C. - say circa 1975 - if Nahanni was around, I did not see it. Tommy Tompkins was "normal size" as I recall - did not strike me as overly tall or overly short - so was probably like 5'10" to 6 feet tall or so - but has been a while since I saw him. You can tell from the left picture - if you are on foot, in the bush, and that Nahanni had a few buddies - would be interesting thing, if they thought you were supper ... I read that Tommy Tompkins found Nahanni as a nearly dead pup in North BC or Yukon - raised it - so likely is well fed - but I do not think any unusual genes - is my impression is what a healthy, well fed, "grey wolf" looks like.

Wolves and coyotes have a significant range in size, depending on the region. Some areas they say wolves and coyotes have interbred to produce a hybrid in size. Only wolves I've seen live have been while I was driving, and they weren't as big as what that one is in the picture.

I’ve been very fortunate to have culled and trapped for the government in days past. I’ve seen abject fear in both wolf and coyotes, to complete curiosity where I’ve been approached far closer than I’d like some times. The wolves on Ellesmere island an excellent example as they have minimal human interaction. Both wolves and coyotes though seem to have a caribou attitude in which they probably stop and look back after a distance. Big thing is how many times the critter has interacted with humans. I can guarantee you a yote in a field that sees a human in winter will start booking it pretty quick as he’s probably had a few rounds pumped in its direction. Another thing is what your wearing and what your activity is. I’ve had yotes right behind me when I’m on the tractor cleaning the mice as I’m working a field. Jackals on the other hand. They just book it as they know they are going to get whacked real quick. This could go on and worthy of a paper being written about it. Sit back and watch them for 20 years and you’ll see lots of behaviours from passive to bully to family to outright hatred to each other. Love both species. Love the fur but am sick and tired of skinning the damn things I’ve been green in the gills too many times especially wolves or a green belly yote. Happy hunting
