But I agree that it was a cat of some kind, either bobcat or cougar. If the deer are congregating down along the creek, then that would draw the cat there as well. It would feel safe at night. I would have done the same thing as you - run out there with a light to try and see it.Dawn Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-24529521033003374832010-08-27T13:51:35.900-07:002010-08-27T13:51:35.900-07:00Gosh, I hope you are sighting in a rifle about now...Gosh, I hope you are sighting in a rifle about now.

I know they make a scream that sounds like a woman but once I heard two cougars calling to each other one night near my home. At first I thought someone was calling their dog, but then the almost identical sound came from far behind me, though it was still audible. It seriously sounded like a person yelling a drawn out version of the word 'ought' (rhymes with fought), even with the hard consonant sound on the end. It was evening in the late spring so I can only assume it was the cougar equivalent of a 'booty call' and the pair was trying to hook up through the dense Oklahoma scrub forest. Not an experience I'll ever forget, especially since I actually saw one of the two cougars pass through the field several yards from me, making that strange sound the whole time. I kept my kids close to home after that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841909429785434537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-86542019744521366592010-08-17T18:25:17.208-07:002010-08-17T18:25:17.208-07:00Outstanding!

We had one several years ago that snatched a 150lb. calf out of our corral and took it right UP and OVER a 6 ft fence!<br /><br />Nobby and I met one on the trail a couple of seasons ago...let's hear it for "pucker power" on the saddle!! I worried about what a semi-green, little Arab would do, but he froze, the cat froze, I puckered as hard as I could, and we all stayed that way for about 5 or 6 seconds. Pussycat just "melted" down into the tall grasses and next thing I saw was its tail waving through some willows about 50 yards away. Nobby gave a shake, I stayed puckered, and we walked on up the trail! I must admit, however, that I kept my eyes on the trail behind for about 3 miles, as i wasn't REAL sure that cat hadn't turned at some point and thought about coming up from behind! It is said that you will never see the cat that gets you! Awesome animals, though, well deserving of our respect and admiration!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087580150400801900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065325235071302257.post-55815145650249619662010-08-16T20:50:21.061-07:002010-08-16T20:50:21.061-07:00I was on the edge of my seat reading your wonderfu...I was on the edge of my seat reading your wonderfully written post.
