Was out searching for turkey poults this evening, I was headed toward a stand of hardwoods and a coyote ran out to my left he was probably 50 yrs out and stopped, I had already stopped, then he started with (verily audible) barks, then full blown barks and howls, after a bit I sit down and he kept it up, I was enjoying the music but finally got up and he ran up to a couple lone tree's about a hundred yards off and set up shop howling and barking I walked off and he continued his choir till I was out of range to hear him, anyhow I never had this happen and thought it was very interesting.

I’ve had’em do that when they spotted me believe it or not. They really carry on when there’s a dog nearby as well.

… I’ve had the dominate ones get really vocal in traps when I ride up

That's cool, I've never had them close and I'm in clear view carry on like this, I've have had them cuss me while I'm calling, and follow my decoy hound in my

… it’ll make your ears ring standing next to them

I've had one bark at me just like a dog about 50 yards away. Not in a trap.

I've had them do that at night coon hunting. It's very rare, maybe once or twice a year ??

I've had them bark at me like a dog several times. Usually its been after I've caught several and I think its the female that sits out there and barks at me while I'm resetting a trap.

They do it once in awhile out back when it’s dark. Guess they think they’re safe but but the pulsar proves them wrong every time.

Had them bark and half howl like a challenge.

One time had a double and oddest trapped coyote behavior I’d seen yet.
First set was a dirt hole bait set and had a female and she cowered and I noticed she was all bit to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and torn up.
Second set had this nice big kind of Wolfy looking male and it was only coyotes ever caught that was literally on “my end of the chain” and lunging at me, teeth bared, growing and snarling. When I first got out of truck he was barking and yipping at me the whole time I walked up. Then as I got closer he changed his tune to very aggressive, something I’d never seen out of any trapped coyote and to this day still haven’t. Wow he wanted to tear into me. I put him down right away and was glad for good trap and chain.
My guess is he is one that bit up the female but I’ll never know that for sure. I suppose it’s like humans sometimes there are just jerks in animal world too.

In 2008, when I first got into trail cameras, I had my cameras up in the woods like a trap line. I went out on a Friday night around midnight to check them. When I got to my first camera I heard something coming towards me. I crouched down thinking how cool it would be if I watched my camera capture a deer pic. Whatever it was, it stopped moving, then split up and started to work downwind of me. I now knew there was more than one, but still thought it was deer. Once one of those yotes winded me it let out an alarm bark. I darn near leaped out my clothes. There was 3 of them and they tore out of there, but as I walked to the rest of my cameras they followed me. They'd come in, bark, scare the crap out of me, and then run away. This went on for about an hour, and they followed me all the way home. I was armed, so I had no reason to be scared, but I've got to admit it was unnerving to watch them act like that. They're a cool critter. I love trapping them. Wish I was better at it!
