My family and I do a fair amount of coonhunting with hounds; my dad has told a storyforyears now about a bobcat that he and his hunting partner heard one night. He said that the dogs got treed in the woods and on the way to the hounds they heard the mostevil sound they ever heard. He said it sounded like a woman sreaming as she was been stabed with a knife( not that he knows what this sounds like, just a figure of speech). He said the cat was about 20 yards from them and the hounds when it made the first scream and it did three more times.He said thatwhen the cat started screaming the hounds even got freaked out.He said the rest of the night he was freaked out and kept watching over his shoulder. Haha.

Dont have very many in Indiana, kinda uncommon.

oh man... i hate that noise. The first time I heard it was when I was 12. I was climbing out of my stand at dark and heard it about 40 to 50 yards away. You've never seen a white boy run so fast in your life! I've heard it twice since then.

I believe so. I've also been told Mountain Lions sound the same.

Anyway, I know how you feel. I was 17 and really just hunting on my own for the first time after spending years standing beside my dad. We were in Allegheny county so it's shotgun only and I'll never forget that sound in the pitch black waiting for first light. 17 years later, it still sends a chill up my spine.

Scares the crap outa me. Sounds like a baby crying or a lady screaming. I always hear them in rifle season and for some reason when the fire whistle goes off in the nearest town they cry up a storm along with the coyotes howling there heads off.

In reference to your question "You guys ever heard a bobcat scream?" my answer would have to be "Only when I walk in the house with mud on my boots." Just kidding honey, you know I love you.

My granddad always said that he had a seen a panther on his farm when I was a kid. When I was about 14 and started hunting by myself I heard a terrible scream one morning as I was sitting in my treestand. Scared the hell out of me and I always wondered what it was. Bobcats are common here in NE Missouri now.
