The witness and a child sat in a parked pickup with windows down near a night listening location.

The next day the witness found trampled vegetation, a coyote carcass, tarp pieces, a dog dish, and scat near the estimated sound source.

About a mile from Highway 4 they noticed a line of large deep impressions in the snow on the shoulder and stopped to examine them.
