What was that?

[StanW]

OK, while camping this weekend out in Savage River State Forest, "What was that?" seemed to be a major topic of conversation. The one we are trying to figure out, what was making all the hooting and hollering during the night? There were several critters having some sort of debate around us. At first we thought it was an owl moving around, then perhaps dear. The Mrs. poked around on the internet when we got home and believes they were foxes. They seem awfully loud and were quite a few going at it. One sound like a fricking monkey. I'm thinking Chupacabra but I don't think they come this far north

MOM makes monkey noises every time he tries to speak.
And AG Doug Gansler squeals like a baby.
Maybe it was Gansler trying to pull his nose out of MOM's rear-end?

Without actually hearing the sound it would be hard to say. Could have been coyotes howling. Red Fox make an odd short bark. I watched and heard a red fox bark at cat in an old quarry once. Knew what it was right away, and seeing it confirmed it.

There are also grey fox up this way - probably more of those then reds.

See if any of these sounds - sound familar.

Maybe coyotes? Got some who run along Dan's Mountain near the house. Quite noisy! They sound like a frat party some nites.

I've heard that Vixen call a few times and talk about making your hair stand up. Walk through the woods in the dark and hear that 50 yards away and tell me you wont crap your pants. It sounded like someone was getting murdered.

Yeah, I've heard red fox vixen going on in the woods by my house here in Timonium, and it always scares the sh_t out of me. Sounds unearthly.

I live in Savage River State Forest and I can almost guarantee you heard coyotes. I hear them almost every night.

StanW, that was undoubtedly Hooli the Goat. There haven't been many new Hooligan initiations lately and Hooli's getting antsy!

Hey Mooseman, you need to get that goat under control! The neighbors are starting to complain!


Actually I heard the same sounds you describe at the range before daylight on Sunday. I'm thinking coyote.

 

[Hi-Torque]

Isn't there a "boy's camp" on New Germany Road? You probably heard them speaking in Baltimoron.

 

[trickg]

It was a squatch - squatches love hooting and hollering in the middle of the night.

Hooli likes camping and does tend to get a little wild in the woods. We will try to behave a little more next time.

Ever heard two Barred Owls carrying on? Doesn't sound anything like an owl and guaranteed to send shivers up your spine if you don't know what it is.

About midway through this video is an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5zc-NHIipw

BINGO! We have a winner! 99% sure that's what we heard. Thanks, wasn't sure I was going to get the wife primitive camping again in the near future.
