What did I hear in the woods last night?

That is the sound of fabrication.

Had a whippoorwill go off about 10 ft. from me. Pitch black morning in the woods,dead still. Ft. Leonard Wood, MO , turkey hunting. The night before I had made the mistake of watching a documentary on MoMo , the Missouri Monster ( Missouri’s Bigfoot ). Gun went up in the air, turkey chair flew off in another direction, felt like I went up 6 feet at least…..I don’t know for sure, but I probably screamed. That was in 1976. I don’t think I’m quite right yet.

The screech owl situation was on my property in NE MO up near the Cannon dam. Scared the living $hit out of me and I was 50 years old. Got out to the stand and my heart beat was out of control. Damned that thing was loud.

I will go to my grave saying this is the scariest critter in the woods. I guarantee these guys cause a small percentage of heart attacks a year.

I don't have enough animal experience to rule out animal but it sounds like a pipe got dropped

You’re hiking at 11 o’clock at night?

Really similar to the sound of a Northern Flicker pounding on my chimney cap. Have not heard it at night though.

Probably hiking out from an evening of bear hunting?

We had 4 bears talking to each other last night, like they were starting their rut. We have heard it before but not this early. It doesn’t sound like your video though. I can’t post a video of it because it shows my honey hole, but it’s a trip when you hear 4-7 of them talking to each other all around. Your video sounded like an African lion through my phone
