Not to still Riches Thunder but the ki YI is a sound a coyote or dog make when its in pain or suffering so to speak and is a sound often used when more than 2 coyote are called in to a stand after one dog has been shot or killed callers will use this sound to get the other coyotes to stop by making them think there mate or companion has been hurt or needs help
I first herd this sound when I used a shock coller on my dog (I am still sorry BUD) he is a Chocolate Lab and my son was playing with the remote for it in the truck on the way Pheasant Hunting and little did I know it was on 10 power
anyway in the field hunting and up pops a doe deer and Bud was hot on its tail so i did the dirty deed and let him have it after i about went horse trying to call him back
it was a RRRUUUURRRT RRRUUUURRRT sound over and over
I am positive every one has herd this sound when a dog makes it
But back to the coyotes I called in a pair one morning in a pasture I was facing the wind and they where headed strait for me after lip sqeaking them in from about 75 yards to about 20 I let out the old wooooof woooof they stoped and I wounded one in the leg and it was doing the something bit me spins so I let out another shot and hit it right in the hind end while its mate was about 50yds away on a dead run
the other way, after the coyote hit the ground it started yelping kind of like my dog did but with a little higher pitch KKKKIIIIIYYYYYYTT KKKKIIIIIIYYYYYYTT over and over
But I noticed the other coyote had stoped and was tured looking back at its mate to see what was going on the was the worst mistake of its life at about 70yds it droped in its traks with a little help from the .223
so you see a KI YI is a dog or yote indistress in a way but its a great way to get a got away yote to stop or can be used just to get there mind wondering what is going on over there and I have seen them come to check it out or i gess to them see why there is a coyote in distress
