Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
we were out hunting on friday here in potter county ,pa.near crossforks..
we both got our bucks this week archery hunting and i could not find my arrow so i went back to look for it..
i no sooner walked into woods i heard awful sounding bark like sound..i thought, oh boy, here comes coyote because i never heard sound like that from any other animal in woods..
so, i waited with my shotgun, i thought, that coyote is coming right for me..
then, into opening it came..it winded me and stopped..i thought, should i shoot, no, i want to make sure its a yote..but waitng will cause you to loose a yote..
i waited.. then after strairing at me it moved a little..guess what it was? BOBCAT..
in all years in woods, 50 i never heard a bobcat barking like that..
does anyone know why he was doing that or have heard it before?
when bobcats are in heat..(which i dont think they are right now but i have no idea honestly) but nonetheless when bobcats are in heat they make some god awful sounds.. that could be what you heard..

could be it,i never in my life thought it would be a BOBCAT making that sound..you could hear that for distance too..
We have alot of bobcats out here but usually never see them let alone hear them bark. I do recall hearing something to that effect during a camping trip with my dad. I think maybe 20 minutes or so, give or take, saw a bobcat near by.
