What did I hear in the woods last night?

[welkin]

Around 11 last night I was hiking along a closed road in the forest and heard something down in the drainage that I've never heard before in my life. This was in the coast range of Oregon. Whatever it was called three times, the first two were like a guttural bellowing and then I was able to pull out my phone and record this noise which is a little different, not as low in pitch. It sounded 100-200 yards away and was loud. Maybe it was some kind of elk vocalization but I've just never heard it before and I grew up in a town overrun by elk and I am around them a lot at work. What the hell was this?

Def sounds like a T. rex.

No clue man. I’d say bear but I’m sure I’m wrong

You sure there isn’t a road or access point where you heard the road? Sounds like a weak air horn from a vehicle

It's a complete guess but could it be a cougar? That's a super odd noise!
