Three in the morning sounds

[Pooch]

It's just after three in the morning and my wife and I were just woke up by a long mournful howl. This was not a coyote! We have coyotes calling every night so I know what a coyote sounds like and trust me this was no coyote!!!

I've heard this howl in Canada and like I just said this was no coyote. Too deep and "throaty" for a coyote. There is little doubt in my mind that I just heard my first Central Illinois wolf.

We live on our farm out in the country so any unusual sound brings me right out of a dead sleep. I think my nights sleep is over.

Nothing brings me straight up in bed faster than a couple of raccons discussing their personal attributes. Between them and a couple of the neighbors cats doing a serenade I get the chance to watch an extra bit of late nite tv. Foxes in the spring are also great sleep deterrants- - jerr

Could be a Sasquatch. I've seen that Finding Bigfoot show and they seems pretty convinced they exist.

I think a wolf is a better answer.

Chupacabra?

When I hear a couple of bangs around 3 AM keeps me wide awake for awhile..quite awhile actually..

I've read that there've been wolves documented in Il that migrated from WI...,.A neighbor of mine hit and killed a wolf in I94 between Milwaukee and Madison. WI DNR verified the animal as a wolf.

It's not much of a stretch to think you may have heard one. He won't stay long.

A stray dog gone ferrell?

I used to have a Chesapeake retriever, who when the fire siren when off downtown, he would start howling, that would put many wolves to shame.
