Strange...trumpeting noises? What?

[Oncoming Storm]

So I was taking my dogs out when I heard something run by the woods literally feet from my house. It sounded like my livestock guardian dogs so I walked back there and thought I saw one of their tails. So I whistled. And my response was this strange honking/trumpeting noise. I literally do not know how to describe it. It really put my house dogs on edge. Does anyone have any idea what this is? I’m not sure this is exactly a “pest” but since I don’t know what it is....I don’t know if it’s a pest or not. At this point you guys are better than google.

Goose?

Goose?

No it sounded like a dog running through the woods. Geese don’t really hang around my house. Less of a honk and more of a trumpet.

Crane? Next I will guess werewolf.

If it runs like a dog than maybe a coyote or Fox.

Might help if we knew where you were. could be a swan or other migrating bird that got injured and is staying in the area

Heh, that’d be helpful. I’m located in north Georgia.

Thats odd, only ones I know the trumpet are the trumpeter swan and an elephant, and neither of them would make ya think it was a dog, Haven't heard a wild turkey and geese but that is a possibility in your area and as turkey don't fly and adult could make ya think it maybe if ya saw it running

Where are you located? Elk bugle, and deer can make some weird noises occasionally.

My dad said he thought it was deer, but I’ve never heard a deer make that noise.

We live in colorado, and my neighbor here heard a weird animal call last night too. It was down in our front pasture. Hes a hunter, so hes heard all kinds of animal calls, but he said he never heard nothing like that. They had something get two of their birds last night to . I'm sitting up with the shotgun for a few hours tonight.

I hope you figure out what it is and find out it's not a threat to your animals!
