They hunt continuously (and very effectively) as packs. The sound they make doing so is like someone forgot and left open the Gates of Hell.
Books are okay, but they aren't infallible.
Granted, I'm a man that pees outside, sans accoutrement, and all of that... But if you open the door and yell at them to shut-the-hell-up!
They do.
For a minute.
And then you can sic the dogs on 'em.
Go figure.

Coyotes are a fairly common sight here on the fringes of the greater Phoenix area, especially very early in the morning. And of course, you can hear them all night. Was with the family camping up at Usery Park a while back and a noisy pack of them ran past the tents in the early morning hours. I am not sure if they were chasing dinner or whatever, but it was a pretty creepy experience.
One night you should get so/many hunters it’s impossible to know and just take care of these packs once and for all. Who knows who was there or who got what?
My dog is 45 pounds and I wouldn’t want to see him go up against one of these coyote/dog/ wolves. It wouldn’t be a pretty site. These animals are about twice his weight. The one that we saw was a pup and was about the same weight as our dog.
