I will jump in here too. If this is true, then why did you not investigate it. You where armed, and even if you were not, a girl screaming , come on. It could have been your sister or mother, that was in trouble. It could be you screaming next time. I better let this go, it is getting me pissed off.bear slayer said:

I was hunting alone, many years ago, and planned a camp site near the top of the tallest hill in the area, 1500 ft 
Anyway after setting up camp in a sheltered area , I got a fire going that night. All was normal but a little on the cold side , Nov and snow.
Some time during the long night , I did see a hot , very hot vision of a lady in buckskins on the opposite side of the fire. It lasted around 5 seconds.
Part of a 40 of Scotch may have had an impact on the sighting but too this day I can't be certain.

I won't go off on a rant about rescuing girls or quietly taking a #### in my pants when my brain is debating to 'hide' or 'investigate' sounds of distress...but instead I'll keep it on topic. As a kid I was shooting beavers/muskrats around a heavily wooded and remote creek near home late one summer evening. I was sitting concealed on a steep bank waiting for a few to swim by underneath me, when I heard people yelling blue murder, followed by flashlights moving through the bush around the creek bend. I thought I was all alone down there, so this was a little scary some people are angrily yelling and moving around. I didn't stay long to say the least. I quietly left the bank, and ran up a wooded long winding cattle trail towards home. Suddenly on my right I heard crashing in the bush and a blur launch in front of me. Well, it was a cow moose, and she looked as shocked as I was. She took off, as well as I did, both freaked out of our minds. I ran the remainder of the way home without stopping. To make a long story short, the 'flashlights' were damn fireflies, unusal for this area, and the yelling was some kids partying at the local hole, and the sound carried up the creek valley. And the moose, she probably never came across a freaked out 9 year old holding a .22 for protection!

About 10 years ago I was out in the foothills hunting bear in the spring, a solo pack hunt. Around noon, I stretched out in the tent to have a little nap only to nearly jump out of my skin when a woman sceramed off in the forest. I'd grabbed my rifle and set off up the hill towards the sound before I realised it was a cougar. What a rude way to wake up.

The whistling was probably a big happy tom, after having his way with the screaming female kitty

You guys really need too settle down. It seems like some people here just sit and wait for someone to say something with a hint of doubt in it and just jump all over them.Every word of this is true why would I come on here and lie I don't know you and you don't know me so I don't have anything to prove. The screaming I heard only lasted maybe 5 seconds. There is a road right on the other side of the swamp about a 20 minute fourwheeler ride through. The screaming could have came from one of the houses right on the road.I'v heard dogs barking on the road before. And the whistling wasn't like someone humming a tune its sounded as someone was whistling as they were breathing in and out ( kinda makes me think of ghosts). I did go back and look in the woods behind my stand the next day and didn't see any tracks. I don't think it was a cougar but I have heard of a few people seeing them around my area. It would probabaly take an hour just to walk to the next road due to rough terrain an ditches. For all I know it could have been a couple of kids playing in their backyard. I hear people scream and dogs barking almost everytime I go out. If I investigated every weird thing I heard I'd never get to hunt. I don't appreciate being called a liar and coward just because I didn't go off through the swamp after dark looking for the person who screamed. I don't think any of you would have done it either. The thread is about weird and strange hunting experiences and I told you a few of mine if you don't believe me thats fine but you don't have to jump down my throat about it. Please don't go jumpin all over other people just cuz you don't believe them. Bad experiences like gettin put down by other people could put people off our great sport thinking that were are all like this . Have a nice day Bearslayer.

Dont worry, lots of internet heroes around here. You are probably right, most guys probably would have done the same as you. How the hell can anyone say what they would do unless they were actually there? But on the net everybody is a tough guy
Bearslayer... you seem somewhat defensive.
You implied in your post that something bad had happened or you beleived that something bad had happened to a woman.
Give at name buddy, either you believed it was a woman screaming and chose to ignore it or you didn't.
Back to the topic at hand... I seriously believe you heard porcupines breeding screams.... no I am not kidding. Porcupines have been mistaken for and sound identical to big cats... and in many case sound just like a woman screaming. Here is a link to some recordings... not the best recording but if you imagine the high pitched screams drawn out for 20 seconds that is very close to what they sound like in full scream... http://www.southwestwildlife.org/sounds/sounds.htm
About ten years ago I had a neighbour down the road phone me late one night and ask if my kids were in the bush partying behind the house. I said no and asked her why?... what is going on?... she said there is a woman or child screaming back there and it sounds like they are dying. I refrained from laughing and told her that it was probably a porky screaming. She said I did not know what I was talking about and that she had definitely heard someone screaming.
I tried to convince her to no avail... she phoned the O.P.P. and the guy that answered the call came to my house after talking to her. I knew him and he was a hunter as well and he asked me what was up.
I told him that there was nobody in the bush and that it was probably just a porky.... he was stunned and said he had never heard a porky screaming.
So I got dressed grabbed the Makita flashlite and went out on the hydro line with him... we both lit a smoke and waited quietly for about five minutes. When the screaming started and he nearly jumped out of his skin.
I ran down the Hydro line at the sound and scanned the trees with the Makita until I found the Porky up a big spruce and he even gave a couple of squeaks for the copper when he caught up and had a look. I teased the neighbour mercilessly about his wife and told him I would be there to comfort her the next time the porkys were breeding.
Every time I run into that O.P.P. he mentions the screaming Porky and the laughs that his report got from his Sargeant.

Now you are telling a different story.

My favorite funny(weird)shooting story took place up north. My boss had pigs, lots of them and a crap load of other livestock(goats, 3 horses and such) Everything was fenced in by a short fence and stayed in his yard.
A new neighbour moved in a mile away and brought his stallion with him. They had no fences and the stalion would go where it pleased and would even attack my bosses animals. The boss'd chase the horse away, call the neighbour and assess the damage. The first few times he let it slide. Then the stalion killed a goat and seriously injured one of his geldings. My boss told for the neighbour to keep his stalion away. The neighbour promised...
My boss hears a rukus going on in his yard two days later. That stalion is fighting his wounded gelding! He leans out the backporch with his old 30-30 and shoots that stalion. He calls his neighbour on the phone to get his horse.
Now, if you've ever seen a group of pigs eat a horse(I haven't) its aparantly just like feeding time at the trough. By the time the neighbour arrived, the pigs had eaten a huge chunk of this stalion. My boss looks at him and says
"I never thought the pigs could catch that horse..."

It's hard to beat the sight of my old beagle driving my friends Suzuki down the trail.
I didn't actually see it myself, but I sure got told.
He'd left the truck running, in low range, while he walked ahead.
my beagle had an attachment to the front seat, and in climbing over from the back, knocked the truck in gear.
She then put both front feet on the wheel, and 'steered' it down the road after him.
He sure got a shock when he turned to see who was driving. She drove it for he figures a good 100 yards.

Bigredd I never changed my story I was just explaining it better and explaining why I didn't go check it out. I still think it was a person screaming and I never implied that they were screaming for help either. It's not as freaky now as it was then but when your out in the woods and you think your all alone you don't think about that there are people all around you.
And in response to the pigs eating the horse I have heard that pigs have an instinctive reaction to blood.

Pigs will eat anything...for sure!! My grandpa many years ago would throw in a few chunks of coal for the pigs. They crunched it up like candy!! Those pigs would sit all in a row silently for a chunk of coal. It was a little bit wierd, and no one to this day still believes me.

Pigs are very smart animals, they will do anything a dog can do, sit roll over and yes track game.
My wierd hunting story.
Myself, my brother and our friend Mark were hunting partridge outside of Kakabeka falls on 4th side rd by this fish farm. The guy gave us permission to hunt on his property. We found a skeleton in this old half fallen down building. We inform the OPP, they come out to get the skeleton, and the old timer constable starts chuckling. The building used to be the old school house way back when, but had been used as a "haunted house" for a halloween party, and the skeleton was obviously never picked up. He tapped it with his nightstick, it was plastic.
