Account

The witness woke in camp about 4:00 and heard four loud sustained howls from the east side of camp, which were answered by coyotes from the west side. The witness noted a significant difference in pitch and timber between the first howls and the coyotes, after which all went quiet. Two relatives in camp also indicated they heard the sounds.
