I’m excited to hear what you found in the woods.

laugh all ya'll want,,,,,, but it was probably a wendigo. they are real. trying to trick ya to go off into the woods. glad ya'll didn't. lots of folks go missing every year,,,,,,,still have never been found.

Good comeback , Cathryn.

No we are actually in the woods now.. Listening.im posting this from the 4 wheeler

And we just heard a woodpecker. Ain't even close

Have you tried repeating the same sound your self? See if you can get a response back?
Drum up some business.

Can't believe none of you know this was definitely the work of
LEPRECHAUNS!!!

This is the first problem.
But in all seriousness I hope you figure it out, I tend towards the bear looking for some type of food.

Bob do you know how many knock knock bear jokes there are? None because bears dont knock

I don't think Bigfoot runs around here to there so most likely some kind of bird, up until you posted this I had another theory.

The car you saw hauling it out of there was probably part of it, dropped a buddy off to "thump" on a piece of wood with a stick and then all get together and see what the media reported on it from the locals

Most likely Bobo and his Finding Bigfoot minions or some copycat would have been my first guess, but I can't see Bobo covering that much ground unless he shed a bunch of weight and took up cross country running

Watched 2 coons get into a brawl once, they made some awful sounds that if a person did not know what was making that sound they might never go in the woods alone again

I have read the entire thread. Here's my take (guiltlessly lifting from other posters, including the jokesters).
1) The tone of the knocks does not vary. The sound is likely coming from the striking implement rather than what is being struck.
2) The knocks always come in threes at the same cadence. Not very many natural sources will do that. Could you replicate that cadence with a 3 foot long pole against a tree?
3) The sound is coming from different areas, moving about. Can you describe in more detail the distance covered between the separate events, and the type of terrain the source of the noise would need to traverse to get to the new spots?
4) You stated that your neighbor is a squatch watcher. That reeks of something more than coincidence. Could he, or some of his cohorts have been out there trying to call in a squatch, or could one of his buddy's been out there to rile up your squatch watching neighbor?
5) Have you or Jerry pulled a prank on someone lately to spur on a light hearted payback?

If you never hear the sounds again, either the prank has been completed, or someone captured, shot or ran over the squatch.

I can't say that I'm a hardcore believer in the Squatch either, but I would NEVER dismiss it! It seems as though you have ruled out just about everything but, I would entertain that you accept that's what it was and go about your way. If you experience it again, take note, and keep asking around. In the meantime, just think that in an arid, heavily wooded area, why couldn't there be something there that "we" can't explain?

She hasn't come back...it's been 3 hours

I have heard sow bears with cubs making a knock/cluck type sound to communicate.

There was a song about this I think? Knock 3 times

I was thinking about this post today when I went out to shoot my smoothbore... Then I laughed out loud when I used the slap stapler to attach a paper plate to a tree with a handful of staples.

I win. Sheldon was on the ridge knocking for Penny.

You reckon squash has a 4 wheeler to be able to get around like that?

yep, mating season in WV, stay inside and lock the doors.

It's a little blurry...hahaha
