My house is in the woods, and straight out the back door the next house is about 2 miles away, with a tree farm in between. Last night about 9:30 a vehicle with siren blaring went down the road in front of the house, and a pack of yotes responded. I stepped out to the back porch and it sounded like they were about 200 yards away. There were mulitple voices, and it is an errie sound for sure. That siren was like a shock or locater call for them.
I know there are coyotes here, get them on trailcam occasionally, but only one at a time. I have heard them do the same thing at night in response to a train whistle, with the crossing about a mile away. And one night I heard a pack running some poor animal, sounded like a high pitched pack of rabbit dogs. It is easy to forget they are around until something like this happens, and reminds me to never leave my yard unarmed.
