Goats and sheep: baaĪ classic nursery song mentions the sounds of goats and sheep: “Baa baa black sheep have you any wool?” Horses also make a snorting sound and the less often used nicker, which is a low whinny. It can also be used to talk about humans who are complaining a lot. The word “whinny” might be another attempt to write the sound a horse makes, or might be related to the word “whine,” which is a complaining sound. In English the sound is written as a neigh, and is called a whinny. If you’ve ever heard a horse’s sound, you know it’s hard to describe. Many dogs woof or ruff, but small dogs yip and yap (someone yappy is someone who talks a lot), while large dogs have a deep bow-wow.Īll these sounds are called barking.

If I see a cow I'll try cow moans to see what she does.J17 Animal Sounds in English: How to Make Sounds Like Cats, Dogs and More I don't have a Moose tag yet but I had planned on trying to call a bull or two into camera range down at the park. Both times I was doing a bull grunt, but I have no trouble believing they would come to a cow moan even better. I've only had two cows come to my calls, where it was clear that they were responding to the sounds I was making. Kinda like a Deer will make when it's spooked. The make a sharp short sound too that dad used to call barking. To me it sounded a lot like an African Lion roar just like one hears on National Geographic. It is amazing how loud they can be! I spooked a bedded cow at about thirty yards once. ![]() ![]() Those are the only two times I can think of that I've had cow moose react to calls for me. Not sure if she was getting competitive with us or if she had just had it with the bull that was chasing her. Then this cow started making these crazy noises (started like a cow call and then turned into more of a donkey sound) and that pretty much ended our action for the morning. "Yep - it was directed at me and you're not going to believe what made it".Īnother time couple years back, me and a friend were cow calling one morning during the rut and a had few different bulls answering around us (we were pumped to say the least). When I got back to the truck a couple km away, my buddy was like "did you hear that crazy noise". Hard to explain the noise but without a doubt is was the creepiest sound I have ever heard. She screamed/roared at me - really loudly. Didn't work but it did bring a very angry cow moose into the block. I gave a fawn in distress call once to try to stop a couple of deer running out of a cutblock. I never had one come to a cow moan but at least they didn't panic like those two did when I tried a bull grunt on them. One thing, I tried both cow and bull grunts on cows. I had a couple of cows that went balistic, running and barking like crasy when I tried calling them. ![]() Problem is, if she isn't in heat, she could very well take offence at a call. So far as I know, there is no way to know where or when to find a cow in heat other then to simply try calling. Not sure what good that information would do if true. It has been suggested to me that they will come in if they are in heat. Cows will sometimes come to a call.īut I have been anable to determine why they come one time and not the next ten times I call. Got drawn in 508 for ant-less moose, is there any way to call them within bow range? Pretty new to calling, and have never attempted to call in moose? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, and Would like thank the responders in advance.
