On December 15, 2002, at or around the midnight hour, Dixie Banshee led a group of us to a location in Mississippi. For those of you that might not know, I have known DB since I began researching. It was wicked cold that night and if memory served me right there was ice and remnants of snow on the ground. The area was located on a large desolate bridge where we lined up several vehicles. D.B. and Shasta may remember more details. It has been a long time about six years ago. Several did some calling, where we immediately got an owl. After a time, we heard a howling coming from the woods downstream below the bridge. This was a continuous howling with another responding back. The recording you are about to hear is two sections of the same tape joined together for the convenience of the ones who are posting it for us. You will be able to tell when one tape leads into another. I am sorry I was not able to make it a smoother transition. Both recordings are of the same creature but at different times that night. In the second part he is moving farther away and the volume had to be increased. If you listen closely in this section towards the end, there is more than two, as it seemed our object of interest found his friends.
Personally, I have never heard anything like this in Texas. Some might say it was a raspy coyote. I know there are many on this forum that know about coyote behavior. I want to ask you, have you ever heard a coyote spend this much time calling back and forth with another coyote? Or even a wolf? I have never heard a Bigfoot do it either but I can offer no explanation to what could be making this vocal other than a Mississippi Big foot. In all of my research, I have never heard something like this. I was honored to be present to experience this.
Please have a listen and let us know what you think.

For some reason Fireflies the file did not attach.

DB,
The forum instructions said to post the text and leave a place to insert the link. Mike will get an email with the recording and he set up the link and inserts it, I believe. I am having trouble sending the sound to him, however, I think I am going to have to send the two wavs separately.

Sorry folks but I posted the above posts before I sent the recording to Mike. Well I am now having trouble sending it joined. So I am sending Mike the two separate recordings that I had originally spliced into one recording. I know, it sounds complicated. What it boils down to is that there will be two recordings, the one with the owl was the first. Thank you so much for your patience. We live to learn,lol.

Hey
Those are some nice recordings.
Sorry for the slow posting. I was out last night and then had some work to do this morning. This crazy computer is still not working like it should. I got missing dll files from programs and they don't run. I am working on it.
I also don't know why the links..don't act like links. Seems you have to cut and paste to the browser to get them to work. I think it has something to do with the .mp3 and not .htm or something.
Mike (watch1)

7FF,
These are fantastic recordings! I commend you for sharing them with me.
I have made several road trips to Mississippi to research at a families property where they have recorded dozens of examples of this very same horse sounding call. In many of the recordings you can hear coyotes and then some distant dogs all responding to the original fowls. This is very convenient because it allows you to compare the different howls all in the same audio segments. I have heard theses howls in person while camped in a remote portion of their property. I will contact the property owners and see if they will allow them to be posted for comparison.
