BFRO #19666: Hunter hears very loud scream at short range near Brazos River

📍 Location

📝 Description

I was recently discussing your web site with a friend and was directed to the sounds that were recorded and placed on your web site. Initially I laughed it off. At least until I heard the Ohio Howl. I have heard that particular sound before. The only difference was a slightly higher pitch. When I heard the sound on your site I got the same goose bumps and the same sick feeling I had the first time I heard it.I was on an evening deer hunt in mid to late December. It was cold and clear with a light wind. I was sitting on the ground backed into a cedar tree. At one point I could hear something walking up behind me. I could tell it wasn't a hooved animal by the sound the feet made when it walked. I waited about 10 minutes looking for it to step out of the brush. That's when I heard that sound. It couldn't have been more than 20 ft away, because it was so loud I had to put my hands over my ears. I immediately clicked the safety off on my rifle and could hear it moving back deeper into the brush. When I couldn't hear it any more I got up and went to the truck without finishing my hunt. I told my grandad about it and he shrugged it off and said it was probably just a big coyote.I have hunted my whole life. I have been calling and trapping predators for close to 20 years. My degree is in Animal Science. I know what coyotes, dogs, and wolves sound like and that isn't it.
