Hear a wolf call in the wild

I have heard wolves in three different places, Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The sound of Coyotes is cool but does not compare to a wolf.

I was hiking and camping in Wyoming and Montana. In the daytime we could hear wolves howling from the nearby mountains. At night while we sat around our camp fire, the howls seemed to be much closer and all around us. They were more afraid of us than we were of them. They never came into our camp.

I have a dog that is part wolf, part Siberian Husky. We have a big backyard, so he loves it outside. My bedroom window faces over the backyard and everynight, he howls and I swear, after all these years of listening to him howl, I can understand what he wants or what he is saying. His tone changes, the length changes, there are different inflections. It’s beautiful. I’ve never heard a wild wolf howl, though I don’t imagine it would be any different.

The awesomeness! :)

I’ve always loved the call of the wolf. To hear it when they’re free and speaking to each other would make me so happy. I keep thinking I may go to Algonquin Park and attend a wolf howl there.
