We, too, love to hear them singing, but we've never heard the pups! Our packs must wander broadly, because we only hear them once a month or so. Your experience with the blind sounds amazing! It's so difficult to get close to predators like that -- what an incredible experience! We so enjoy your blog, by the way, and all the amazing photos and experiences that we get to share when we visit. Thank you! Rebecca =) Dear MObugs, Thank you for your words. I felt so blessed to encounter a coyote in this manner. I must confess that I still scan the hills searching for a grey animal that moves a little differently than all the rest . . . Dear MObugs,

I was so amazed to hear his story when he returned, and then to see the photo of the creature he had encountered. We, too, love to hear them singing, but we’ve never heard the pups! Our packs must wander broadly, because we only hear them once a month or so.

Your experience with the blind sounds amazing! It’s so difficult to get close to predators like that — what an incredible experience!

Dear MObugs,

Thank you for your words. I felt so blessed to encounter a coyote in this manner. I must confess that I still scan the hills searching for a grey animal that moves a little differently than all the rest . . .

I cannot remember when I enjoyed reading something more. Picturing that coyote in my mind I couldn't help but feel a certain sadness that for whatever reason he has been robbed of his vitality and must find another way to survive. Is his life any less worthwhile simply because he must live it differently? I think not. Coyotes have long held a special place in my heart. There is something so mysterious and surreal about them. We have a pack that lives on our farm, and we are blessed with their night-song each evening. In the spring we laugh at the pup-calls, as they try so hard to mimic their parents. Occasionally we catch sight of one. I recall a couple of winters ago during deer season my husband and I were sitting in a tent blind. We heard a rustling in the ditch directly ahead of us. Instead of the expected deer, we were greeted with the presence of a coyote. He/She came into view and rolled around in the corn field. In no time at all we heard the same rustling and again a coyote presented itself. They greeted each other by rubbing noses and smelling each other. The second coyote scent-marked in the field. Eventually they both felt so comfortable that they rested in the field. I was so fascinated by them I completely forgot about the deer or even why I was out there to begin with. The coyotes so completely took over my mind. I felt so privileged to be given a glimpse into their world. Kenton, your experience with this wonderful predator is to be cherished for sure. They reach in and grab a hold of a small portion of our souls and we are never the same. Thank you Rebecca for telling me about Kenton’s story and his experience with this beautiful creature.
