I too remember something sounding like that in the woods.  Kind oflike a screech-knock, screech-knock, screech-knock, though when i heard it a few years ago.

They must be rare only several have heard its call and no sightings among dozens of foresters on this site with countless hours in the woods.  Almost at the ivory bill status as far as sightings go!.

Is that the status now back to zero, i thought that  they had two known birds or something like that and that USFW was buying up land in the bottom.  Wow some turn this thread has taken.

I recall one of my co-workers reporting that the sound being made by his increment borer was apparently mistaken by a whitetail buck during rutt for something he wanted to get a closer look at.  He said the buck came running in toward the noise and changed course within only a few yards before reaching him.  Both were startled at the time and later he considered the possibility of making a device to sell as a buck call that would recreate the sound.  Has anyone else out there had similar experiences that would lend credibility to my friends story?

I have bored many hundreds of trees, but I never called up a buck before.  I can't imagine what a buck would be drawn to from that rachety, raspy sound, but you never know....... :).

Ermm dunno  ;D I was once walking through brush cut in thinnings, making lots of noise. As I stood at a sample plot a buck chased a doe up to within 5 meters of me. This was late august. I think some of those 'stemmy' old bucks get curious and have to check that no young buck is trespassing in their harem.  ;)
