Favorite Sound Outdoors

Tech Writer

In the process of hunting, fishing or what ever I was wondering what is your favorite sound.

My two are the sound of a fly reel when a big brown is taking line and the first response to a turkey call in the spring.

We had a trap shoot at our local club last weedend and there was a covey of quail running the fence rows yelling "bob-white" all day. Really cool!

My favorite is the slow and steady sound of a deer walking in on frosted leaves.

I love the sound the sound of a rooster pheasant, especially in the fall.

The first flock of Canadian Geese heading south in the fall works for me....

German made flat 4 aircooled engine screaming thru the RPMS and around the corners...

Frickin' squirrels running around on the leaves, that makes me think I snuck perfectly into the tree undetected.

Early morning birds, turkies gobbling, peep frogs, crickets, whipporwills...

When I fish, the sound of a babbling brook or rushing river..

Hunting, the rustling of the wind in the trees.

There are so many of 'em. But Coyotes singing at night is one of my favorites.

Gunfire in the distance.

Not really. The sound of a party-music, laughing, a crackling fire(favorite).

Wow, what a great question!

I race sailboats.

When you have a boat tweaked down to the finest...when sails and boat are doing thier job to get the boat through the water with the highest VMG. When you have the balance just right, the boat takes on a sound or feel..it starts to humm almost. The waves slap against the hull and you feel it, but the boat powers on through.

Give me a day of 6 knots on a thirty foot racing boat and I am as happy as I can be.

The distinct thud an arrow makes as it penetrates the chest cavity of a deer. A turkey coming in to your call in the spring. The call of a hawk or an eagle. Whitewater. The sharp crisp, crack of a rifle on a still, cold winter day when taking a long range shot at a deer.

The report of my 30.06 echoing of the mountain and slowly fading away into eternity.

.....Colonel Plink....When those 'yotes are 100' from the bedroom window at 2 AM like last night, pure joy is not my emotion. It's still petty cool, but it gets real old, real fast.

.....Ben, yep..the sound of a deer on leaves in otherwise dead silence makes the heart go into high gear......And select-fire, those peckerwoods can startle a guy sumpin' awful.

.....Might I add ....real good thunder. Especially when it's close and you hear the "sizzle" for a second, and then the flash and boom come at almost the same instant.

.....About the only nature sound that I hate is wind. It drowns out all the others.

The Eagles, Hotel California is right up there, but I do like the calls of Whip-poor-Wills, Poor-Wills, and Chuck-Wills-Widows

I've got a Mockingbird that likes to carry on full force when I'm out back and he's around. Same one for several years now, sits on the same wire and just knocks himself out singing. He moves around to several perches that seems to have my little place centered. I got a shot of him four or five years ago on the neighbors grill top somewhere if I can find it. Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for awhile.

Good one. Made me remember the first time I heard Sandhill Cranes.
Thanks for the reminder.

I remember bats flying over our head while we were kids. My parents had a pool. They also had a security light in the distance. Seeing those bats fly around munching on moths is very cool. Have you ever thrown something into the air as a bat flies by? They'll circle it until it falls to the ground. Pretty cool how quickly they react.

Loons, a crackling fire, and rolling thunder across a lake.

The little frogs that "peep" at night. It doesn't feel like summer until I hear them peeping! [:D]
