Now that mating season is upon us, I was wondering if there was a definative reference source on coyote speak. I've heard and seen references to this howl or that howl, but what I'm talking about is a sort of "morse code" tutorial. You know like dot dot dash (yip, yip, howl) means get out of my territory and dot dash dot dot dash dot dash means hey big boy ya wanna.

Tony,
I would start with Mr. Rich Higgins. He knows more about vocalizations than I have ever read.
I know Major Boddicker had some instructional material with his Song Dog, critr call.
Good luck with your search. If you find any interesting material, please post the URL or references.

Yeah Norm, I was kinda hoping Rich would chime in. I think he's a little too busy over on PM with that best howler thread. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Hey Rich, get over here.

Tony,
I don't think that is in Morse code, but the book on coyote vocalization, by Lehrner is a good read.
later Pup

Pup,
I tried to find it at Amazon and a few others and had no luck. Where can I get a copy. Thanks.

Tony, Pup is referring to "Coyotes-Biology, Behavior, and Management" by Marc Bekoff
it containd dissertations on coyote comunication by P.N.Lehner and Franz Camenzind.
"Talking to Coyotes" by Major Bodikker is available with the Songdog Howler or by itself.

Thanks Rich. I sometimes have nice long conversations with them and I'm starting to think I don't know what I'm talkin about. It's kinda hard to talk them in when you don't quite speak the language correctly. Kinda like Spanglish. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Tony, maybe them coyotes you are trying to talk to are from south of the boarder and some Spanish howls would bring them on in.Maybe they just Habla Espanol
Posted by tonlocus (Member # 254) on January 28, 2004, 01:39 PM:
Hablo Espanol mui pokito. Yo qiero Taco Bell. Can't spell worth a damn either.

Welcome to the New Huntmasters, CR. Glad to have you on board.
Good hunting. LB

Por Que no dices Espangles???
Welcome CR!

Dalo por perdido Tony, tu espanol esta peor que el mio. No hay manera de que encuentres a un Coyote Mexicano que lo hable tan mal. Necesitas concentrar en aprender a hablarle a la mecera para que nos traiga mas burritos y cerveza.
Que la via bien,
Tim

Amigos de la buena tarde. Mi español es muy malo pero entiendo la palabra española para la
cerveza. ¿Quién tiene comprar?
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on February 05, 2004, 05:21 PM:
These "casadores de poderosos blanco" are getting a little hard to understand, ¿no? ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Good hunting. LB

Tony,
Donde está al revés "?" en tu el teclado? Usted engano?
Leonard su casa, Leonard compras!
I work in a border town, After three years of feeling lost, I figured if I can't beat them join them. So my goal is to become fluent in the next two years. Reading is easy, listening and speaking are kicking my butt!
Edit: for poor Spanish sentence structure.

Leonard, you the man. What time's the party?
Tim, I got the upside down question marks at a translation website. Did you think I understood a thing you said?
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on February 05, 2004, 07:34 PM:
Tony, How about this.
Give it up Tony, your Spanish sucks worse than mine. There is no way you will ever call a Mexican coyote sounding that bad. You need to concentrate on learning to call the waitress back to bring us more burritos and beer.
But I agree.
Leonard, you the man!

How's this Tim. Camarera, un crevesa por favor. Y uno para mi amigo Tim también. Gracias. I've got ordering beer down pat. Also the last time I was south of the border I learned a very inportante phrase. Donde esta el bano ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

That's what you get for drinking the water. That's why I only drink beer when I go to Mexico. Well that and beer just goes better when you want to spend all day laying on the beach watching the Senyoritas!
Posted by tonlocus (Member # 254) on February 06, 2004, 09:38 PM:
Didn't have a drop of Mexican water the whole time I was there. I think I got it on one of the booze cruises we went on in Cabo. I'll tell you what though, I sure paid for it. Haven't been back since. There's plenty of ocean and beer right here in the good ole US of A.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on February 07, 2004, 08:48 AM:
That's the best plan, Tim. Drink beer, and you should stay out of trouble. Of course, the big resorts have water treatment, but I can't change my habits. You also need to be skeptical of the water in the used Sparklets bottles.
Man! I could go on and on about "third world" Mexico! (for which there is no excuse)
Good hunting. LB

How do you fellers make those little things over the letters and the upside down? Is it a special program?
Matt
Posted by Tim Behle (Member # 209) on February 07, 2004, 11:27 AM:
Matt,
The only two way's I know to do it, are either use a keyboard set up for Spanish, or do a copy and paste from a translation website such as:
AltaVista's Babel Fish
The problem with translation sites is that they translate word for word. Many phrases and most grammar is different in a non-English language. We use way too many words to get the same message across.

Matt, hold down the "alt" key while you use the right numerical keypad to type "168" ; then release the "alt" key. This will give you the preceding spanish question mark ¿
The ñ is done the same way, except the number pad is "164"
There are a bunch of different symbols available depending on what number you select while holding down the "alt" key. 32 degree º symbol is alt 167, for instance. ½ & ¼ is number 171 & 172. Try it; impress your friends.
Good hunting. LB

Are you talking to Crow Woman, or Mrs. NB ? They are the only two women I know of who post here.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on February 07, 2004, 07:05 PM:
