Last night I was hunting on the side of a swamp, and a boat pulled up and two guys started fishing and making noise. I decided around 5:50 to walk back to my car. I knew I was going to be going through a nice huge acorn flat, so I took my time walking. Three steps wait 30 seconds...Three steps wait 30 seconds. I came up two the acorn flat and jump two deer. One of the made they crazy scream noise that sounded like a elephant, and last around a secound. It ran about 40 yards and stoped. I scared the crap out of me, and I have never heard of a deer making this sound. Then I walked a little closer and I did it again and tokk off a little further, but didn't run off.
Then for the next five minutes (no bullshit, I swear on my family, seriously) this deer ran back and forth making this screaming noise. I would blow through my weeze call and it would scream back to me. At one point I had it about 30 yards away and in was doing this screaming sound.
This morning I called MassWildlife and spoke to a biologist there and he said that deer make this sound when they are being captured, but he has never heard it made in the situatation I explained.
It was crazy and at one point I thought I was going to get a shot on it, but it stayed behind this brush running around. You could hear this thing screaming and trampling around.
