It's funny you posted this today, Bill. I took Gibson the Wonder Dog out to pee last night around seven or so, and we heard a full-on coyote howl fest over in the woods beyond our neighbor's house. Mind you, we are suburbanites. We don't live that far from the sprawling metropolis that is Platte City, Missouri. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Small dogs in back yards, beware.

Beautiful animals and scenery there, Bill. I keep forgetting that a part of Minnesota is wild and woolly, or at least furry.

My sister & her husband have a place on Lake Vermilion in Tower, MN. Bears walk around their driveway regularly. Bears are big, too.

I'm in a very rural/suburban area. Fairfix, Northern California. I see right near my apartment in bears, coyotes, bobcats, wolves, salmon, large birds, commies, pinkos, snakes, lawyers, sheep, goats, there's a lot where I live. There's a lot of interesting stories - animals, humanity. There's a lot of Asian restaurants near my neighborhood - I never know eat pork, chicken or cat

More often than not the wolves would howl back. d On a winter camping trip in the BWCA we howled with some wolves. But sometimes I would wonder if there wasn't another group of winter campers on the next lake over who thought they were howling with wolves, too.

"Wolf pack" is the phrase my father used to describe the members of the press who crowded each other out as they jockeyed for position at many of the events he had to cover for Newsweek. It got bad sometimes—once, an ABC sound man hit the old man over the head deliberately with a boompole. ABC had to pay the medical bills.

We had lots a coyotes in Crete. 3 or 4 at a time would come in the yard from the woods and I used to see them hunting in farm fields in the early morning. When they would howl at night, it was like being in a western movie. I have heard a few here but only saw one standing on a hill in the golf course one morning.

Was it under par for the course?
