But have you ever heard one? We have a pack of around 30 in a ravine about 1/4 mile west of me. I've seen them, I know they are there, but when they yowl, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I'm not afraid of them, but they unnerve me every time I hear them.The first time I seen one of the wolf/coyote hybrids it was a shock. Our coyotes have always been small ugly yellow dogs.
