Direwolf in Clare County...where are you Jon Snow?

Bobcat or fox?

 

Uum your property is squatchy

 

Luther dogman has strayed from the swamp!

 

During a stop when I used to drive a delivery truck, there was this little hound dog in the yard across the street. It was standing on top of a picnic table, and the howl coming from this little dog sounded like a damned werewolf. It didn't howl at first, so I was unloading the truck when it started and I actually jumped into the back of the truck because it was so loud and scared the crap out of me. I had video of it because it just sounded so insane. Maybe he moved from the city out to near your property!

I've heard a loud screeching sound 3 times over the years, twice coming from the Benzie swamp around the Herring lakes, the other time back in behind me from the swampy area a bit north of Pine lake, West of Bosschem.
Finally resolved myself to search and search videos/sound effects on the web for a duplication.
Some may say unlikely but believe me this was the closest match.

Could be a cougar, they scream like a banshee. I heard one one night that was absolutely scary.

 

My cousin took a video to capture the sound of a wolf howling he heard last Friday up by St Helen. There was a documented wolf somewhere around Roscommon a while back, so it is definitely possible. IDK about Clare though, I guess there isn't really any reason that it couldn't be. Maybe a Coywolf?

He texted me, I was hunting in Oscoda county at the time, and said I just heard a f'n wolf! I replied Lol and he said it ain't funny, that schitt made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! I still think it is kinda funny, but I didn't hear it other than on the video.

 

Agree completely, here's the link

 

Can you point us to that documentation ? I could not find it.
Thanks in advance.

"Dennis Fijalkowski, Michigan Wildlife Conservancy executive director, said wolves have been in the Lower Peninsula for 20 years and there have been credible sightings in Roscommon County. A pilot sighted a wolf pack crossing the ice from St. Ignace 12 years ago, he said."

Owls can make screams that can be heard for a mile .Once had one scream about 50 ft away and about jumped out of my tree .

 

Have hunted Clare cty for 30 years, Winterfield Twp for the last 18. Hear some weird things, mostly cats but what species is the question. A few of the neighbors claim they saw a cougar more than once in late winter of 19 for what its worth.
