Default Re: Help me identify bird/animal sound

Have you all ever spooked a young porky in the woods, especially at night. They'll let out a super ear shattering screech that you can get miles out of if you have some friends with ya that never heard one before. The Indians just luv eating porkies and everytime I see one walking the road, I shoot it and give it to them. I've tried making the big ones shriek, poking them with stick and they won't, just the young ones.

Quite the harr, when you tell them it's a bigfoot. I was actually surprised that so many of our local Indians had never heard one shriek before, they are half superstitious about everything anyway, believe in monsters in the woods, and such, ha.

Anybody else on here ever heard one? When I was a kid, I was sleeping in an old canvass tent and awoke to the screams right nx to my head. I ran out tent and there was a small porky chewing on tent ropes. I chased him off and he kept coming back. Everytime I'd poke at him from inside the tent (I could feel his quills from inside tent) that porky would start shrieking, woke everybody up and they all said let him be, ha.
