There's a thread on smells. What are some sounds that get you going. For Me its That challenge howl back at me. Then the dead silence as you wait for it to come in. Crows and magpies buzzing all around you hunting for the wounded animal.
barred owls and eastern Whip-poor-wills on a spring morning
All kinds of sounds bring a smile to my face but the one that gets to me the most even after all these years is a mature bull elk bugle..just incredible.
Late bow season..cold..still morning..
..hearing the snow fall..
The territorial rat tat tat of woodpeckers on a deadhead snag deep in the backcountry is one of many.
I like crow/raven talk - because I know they have a broad vocabulary and are not just making noise. Any bird that can count to 4 or 5 is impressive in my book and worth understanding.

Yotes! Rooster pheasants! Grouse drumming! Bucks grunting! Wind through white pines!
The unmistakeable sound of a deer walking in autumn leaves and the gobble of a really fired up tom turkey.

Just being there when the woods wakes up in the morning, and all of nature starts to stir.......
crunchy leaves, Blue Jays hollering, acorns dropping.
A chickadee scolding me for being in his tree.
Sleet tapping on frozen snow.
Wind in the pines.
Eggs and bacon frying in an iron skillet.
The sound of my arrow hitting the vitals, the sound of the animal running, and the sound of nothing. Then the sounds of nature coming back as you sit and wait.
Squirrels chattering, sometimes telling you that somethings comming through. Blue Jays are cool.
The sound of my grandsons voice after they loose an arrow and it hits the mark ;)
Keith brought something to my attention. The sound of the woods commig to life as daylight approaches.

5am...and a Tom's Gobble thunders through the woods.
The bawl of a favorite hound just starting to cold trail a cat when you have all but given up!
thunk
Spring frogs :archer:
All of the above......... :thumbsup:
My sound is the Western Meadowlark. From my days as a kid roaming the hills around Missoula and Lolo Montana. I will always here that call in my head.
Gobble of a wild turkey
Bark of a squirrel
Grunt of a deer
Beagles chasing a rabbit
Hawk screaming
Crows cawing madly at an animal
Rabbit squeal
Dual exhaust from a V-8
Raven Calling
Barred Owls
Wind in white pines
Coyote Challenge Howl
Arrows with whistling heads
waves hitting the shore of a remote beaver pond
Beagles running snowshoes
The bark of a chipmunk

When this guy sounds off,I get ready. I am not a superstitious person,but when I hear a Red-Tail cry,something is going to happen.
Good Shooting,

Mickey running a rabbit making music.
A Mocking bird singing in the middle of the night.
Carolin wren in the morning.
In Maryland I haven't heard a whippoorwill for God knows how long but what a sound. When I was a kid on the farm it was every night during the summer.

Getting back in remote areas such as the Adirondacks and hearing nothing at all.......SILENCE!!! No man made noises what so ever.Only birds and animals during the day and complete silence at night.......awesome!
The smack of my lips while I'm lying in a high meadow eating mountain huckle berries, waiting for my favorite sound of elk bugling ...

Love that. I'm with you on that one man...
A loon's call echoing on a wilderness lake, a thunderous gobble up close and unexpected (scaring the crap out of me), Wolves.
Dave.
The sound of the hardwood leaves of fall, the woods waking up in the morning. Whistling wings and the honks and murmurs of geese coming into the decoys. Can't forget the ol gobbler and the mournful whippoorwill.
i like listening to screech owls
Crunching leaves getting closer and closer after a rattling sequence
Eastern Blue Jays
Bugling elk
Stilh MS 440 chainsaw...means I'm either fighting fire or cutting wood. I love both.
I like the sound of cardinals as day breaks in the woods. They are the first birds to start peeping. Then I like the hawk calling the crows to come out and play. Usually, the first mammals to see/hear are the squirrels scratching in the leaves. Sounds of turkeys starting the day are fairly common sounds as well. On lucky days there is a faint rustle in the brush that turns out to be a deer.
Outside of hunting is the sound of my grandson. He has been slow to start talking, but recently he said very plainly, "Love you Poppa". Talk about making my day....
All of the above... AND the sound of a crackling campfire on a quiet night.
The sound my heart makes when I step into a covey of quail, on the way to the stand, before daybreak. Let's you know you are still alive.
Great pic T Sunstone!
1.x2 the loon on a canadian lake
2. laughter of children
3. 5 string banjo ( prewar Gibson of course)
4. My grandma humming in the kitchen.
5. "Thwack"
The holler of Blue Jays, squirrels beginning to squawk and chatter with the sound of a steady waking deer through the autumn leaves,,,
Loons on a Quebec lake in bear camp
Bobwhite whistle in the spring and summer and the whistle they make in fall in winter to gather back up after covey was flushed.
Haven't heard either one in many years.
1. Bull elk sounding off before sunrise.
2. Mature buck grunting as he follows the doe that just went by my stand .
Reading these has stirred some memories. Another fun sound is the birds settling into the brush at dusk. One that really stirs me tho is the fading sound of the plane as it leaves you in the wilderness. I haven't heard is for quite a while but sure hope to hear it again.
An arrow hitting a fresh cardboard target
lets not forget the sound of a landowner giving permission to hunt.
The squeal of wood ducks and the sound of a flock of mallards overhead as I sit on a deer stand are a couple favorites of mine
