Had to be Big Foot!!!
It wasn't a propane tank I have lived with one all my life and it has never made a sound.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I don't know who told you that but they do not let off pressure.

I got my money with the squirrels. Did anybody pick up on the clue that the noise came from near a BEAN field. Maybe it was the farmer himself. FRAAAAAAAAAAAMP............OH Boy, Gotta go change

Shaggy2,
I bet it was a Buck who just figured something was not right and knew you were there. Im sure he just gave you a big grunt. Try going back and see if hes still around. Good luck and let us know what you find. Maybe it was a big doe.

You have never heard a propane tank let off pressure. Come down to Texas in July. A good 115 degree will get them thing spewin.
Lifes a garden, dig it.

Update on noice.
My brother called and indicated to me that he noticed huge rub lines down the side of the bean field up from where I was hunting and down the fence line. This was givin to me before I told him of my story and the ongoing post here.
This morning I moved my tree stand to the corner of the field. It appears that he is crossing the field in the middle. The filed is not very big so I should be able to get close enough.
After making a ton of noice this AM I figured I would leave the area fr awhile. I am planning on hunting the from the stand dawn until dusk on Sunday. I'll let everyone know. Hopefully will ave pics on Monday.

My Brother shot a buck last year from almost straight down and hit it the spine. My stand was 60+ yards away and the noise that buck made my skin Crawl! I thought he'd hit a bear! Never heard such a noise, and would never had guessed it was a deer till I saw it. They'll suprise you sometimes.

RE: What was that noise?
I too am betting you heard a deer blow at you. They can be LOUD sometimes, and they can walk thru the woods without a sound sometimes too. They are typically more quiet than the squirrels here.
On a similar note, I hunt near a house, and when the fan on the outside of the house kicks on, it screeches at startup. GETS ME EVERY TIME!!! Its soooo loud, and I am about 60 yds from it, it makes me jump just about every time. Gets me in the dark too. Its funny, and I know the deer are used to it, so no big deal.
