No kidding.. I never would have thought of that. That must be a heck of a sound.
I had just bought this place I live now. At first, it was going to used as a weekend get away and summer place. Then decided to live here. And that first week of residency, being the new free spirit, living with nature, Daniel Boone type, I was out in my back yard sitting at a campfire. You know back to nature trips.. And then I heard it.. Out in my woods was a baby crying. I swear to all holy. I could hear a baby crying. I was stunned. I mean how could a baby be in the woods at night like this? So I grabbed a flashlight and went looking. Never found the baby and it must have stopped crying. The next day I was telling a "local" about my experiences. He kind of laughed and told me.. good thing you didn't find that bobcat in the dark. They can be mean at night. Especially if you have a dog. Have any of you ever heard that. It makes the hair stand straight up on your neck.

The raccoons get really nasty sometimes - we hear them fighting at night in the back yard under our bird feeder - they do make an awful screeching - snarling noise.

Trust me you don't want them. The are the most destructive animal that I have ever seen. I believe are deer herd has suffered because of the hogs.
