You guys ever hear a bobcat scream??
First of all i'm hunting in Gettysburg, which is supposed to be haunted anyway. First time at this spot, cant find my tree. Then i hear that god awful scream only about 20 yards away.There's a definitechance that i pee'dmyself a little bit.I had to of broke some kind of land speed record; climber off my back and up arandom tree all in about 30 seconds tops. I know a bobcat would never attack but at the time i wasnt thinkin bobcat i was thinkin boogie man. I ended up staying in that tree and passed up two cake shots at nice doe's and had a buck grunting below me before daylight. Funny how things turn out. Anyone else ever heard that noise?

yeah after I shot one. hehe. A fox also makes a wierd hoarse noise. Its like a bark but high pitched and really scratchy. There used to be a den of foxes behind my house and since I lived down stairs they would wonder up and eat my dog's food and of course bark quite a bit. It sounds like a person screaming just shortened. quote" HAAAAAAAAAH!......."HAAAAAAAAAAH!" unquote. Yeah like that.

Yeah, I heard one scream about 25-30 yards away as I was climbing my ladder stand in the pitch dark
and I almost fell off. I was glad I didn't have to keep walking. We have a lot of bobcats but it's
the only time I heard one. I saw him too at daylight (biggest one I've ever seen - mounted and live),
but couldn't get a shot.
A bobcat won't attack a human on purpose, I've heard a few rumors of turkey hunters getting attacked
by accident on the ground.

I have seen and heard two bobcats um..........making love. I know that sounds far fetched but two years ago about 60 yards from my stand they were running around and acting playful. Next thing I know they're doing the dirty. One of the cats made a sound just like a house cat. "rrrrraaaaooooowwww"
I still laugh every time I sit in that stand. I didn't have the heart to shoot one of them, plus sixty yards is a long shot.
