I was staying in a cottage in the middle of nowhere, I pulled in just past dark and saw a pair of green eyes about 100 yards out. It turned and walked away looking back once. It was dark and the only light was from my flashlight, but I think I could make out a silhouette of a dog. (didnt look like a dear)
about 30 minutes later I headed back out and tried to take some photos of the night sky. I parked out in the middle of a field that had a few clusters of trees between fields (behind me) and a treeline in front of me.
I could hear a something calling in a cluster of trees about 300 yards away (I put the call at ~7 o'click but kept an ear out). Constant calling over and over again but never moved. after 15-20 minutes I heard the same call about 500 yards away at 1 o'clock then it moved to 200 yards away at 11 o'clock right on the treeline. I tossed my gear in the back of the car and I could hear 2 or 3 join in calling and running around the treeline at 12-1 o'clock and 2 behind me in the patch of trees where the first one was.
The original call was a cooing, "ow-ow, ow-owww" almost like an owl, but higher pitched. The last bit sounded like hyenas or monkeys with the original 2 continuing the calling.
I have no idea what was out there or if it was paying any attention to me or not but I was sketched out enough to leave. Am I right thinking it was coyotes?
