    Hmm...I don't know either. Whatever it is your right, it's quite a ways off and it even spooked the coon a bit. Very odd to hear something unrecognizable like that.

    There's a squatch in these woods. :ninja:

    I'm not really sure what that is though. Maybe it's just a distorted dog bark, but that wouldn't spook a deer that's used to it.

    Kinda sounds like someone hiting metal with a hammer or hitting a drum of some sort (like a 50 gallon drum). Any houses or anything near by?

    Okay enough with the bigfoot crap...good grief, I mean really...grow up.


    Sasquatches don't sound anything like that except when they are mating and that video was clearly in the wrong portion of the year for it to have been that....duh.

    Closest house is about one mile away. It's a sound I've never heard before and it sure got the buck's attention.

    You know what...I used an audio editor and separated that sound into the two instances it occurred and listened to it in loop and also in loop in slow motion. The closest thing I have ever heard to it....and what I think it is....is a doe that's alerting and snorting at something. I think the audio is a bit pixileated from the video quality and her distance from the on camera scene resulting in a jittery/broken/pixileated digitalized version of what a doe snort actually sounds like.

    When you listen to it in loop, it is very similar both in duration and tone to a distant doe snort----doe snort = the sound they make when they are agitated and blow air out their nostrils*

    That would certainly account for why the buck was put on alert by it and then spooked at the second sound off. If you listen closely to the audio just outright and plain o nthe video you can hear that the sound quality is poor and sort of digitized and distorted.

    Maybe this is a dumb guess, some sort of bark from a coyote or other predator ?
