I have been watching this happen for 3 years now but it is so weird that I could not tell anyone that had not witnessed it with me because it is hard for even me to beleive this much less someone that wasnt there. I have a ranch that is in Fortbend County and almost every time we hunt this ranch a yote starts barking at us. For the first few months that this happened we just went about our hunting as if nothing was going on but it had me puzzled because this yote would not give up and he would change his bark so that it sounded like one of my dogs. Then the yote would sound like another one of my dogs and then he would make this weird yodle. I told a friend about the yote and that day we decided to just follow the yote and see what happens. Well it didnt take long and we where on hogs. That night I was talking about this with several hunters and that had been with me when this happened and they though the same as me that the yote was leading us to the hogs. Well from then on we followed the yote and every time the yote took us to hogs. This is very cool I was thinking, but no one would believe me except for the people who had witnessed it first hand. I have many people that have seen this happen now and yesterday we caught it all on video. This has now happened more than 20 times now. Has anything like this ever happened to you is my question? What reasons do you think that this is happening? I am assuming that I have taught these yotes that if they take us to the hogs that they will get a good dinner. I have always left the hog dead for the yotes when they help us find them. http://youtu.be/LaNUWtSBbWo |

Absolutely, you taught him. That is really awesome, that's exactly how wolves were domesticated to begin with. Keep it up, eventually they may approach you.

I live in Dallas, almost in Mesquite. Right off Military Pky. there is 20 acres this man mows. In the middle of the day the coyotes will follow the tractor and catch the rats that are running from the mower. Every time he mows they will be there. Sidney

Do u kill the hogs? If so he has learned u will give him a free meal if he takes u to the hog. This would be my guess.

Do u ever see em, or just hear em and run the dogs in that direction? Just a thought, do you worry your dogs will start being dependent on the coyotes and lose some of their "go get em"?

This is the coolest thing that Ive heard in a long time. You should contact national geographic and let them film it!

What she said... I'd think they'd be all over somethin' like this! I know I'd sure like to see how far you could take it!!! We joke about the buzzards that line up on the fence line when we pull up to a ranch... no trained coyotes yet, but them buzzards know what's up |

Here is the part where the coyote is leading us we caught the sow about 400 yards past the end of this video. I cut the rest out because we had 4 RCD's on the ground. http://youtu.be/LaNUWtSBbWo  I normally take the hogs alive but we have left a few out there from time to time. |

Man that just straight up spooky... .. my foggy brain seems to remember something called symbiosis, or "learned dependant interaction between different species".... Defentitely appears to be a similar story to that of the domestication of the dog... ... I'd try givin' the yote a que as you come on the ranch(horn, whistle, etc.) and leaving a "reward hog" each time... Has the yote showed up at the catch yet??? Very cool. |
