Do deer scream? Ive heard peoplpe say they've heard them scream like women.. sort of how a fox can scream...

Question

Anyone ever heard of this, or heard it themselves?

Answer 1

I have been hunting Deer for over 35 years now and have heard every sound that a deer makes.
Or at least that’s what I thought.
I hunt with Bow, Muzzle loader, Rifle and Pistol and normally fill every tag I get.
In the last several years that add up to 8 deer per year.
I put 3 in my freezer and donate the rest to the food banks.
Last year I was on my 5 deer, it was Rifle season and I shot a average size 6 point that field dressed 140 Pounds.
I took a heart shot with a 308 the buck reared up like a stallion which was some thing I had never seen before then let loose with a scream which did sound like a woman and collapsed dead.
I had 2 friends at about 150 yards from me and called me on the radio to see if I knew where that scream came from.
When I told them the deer I just shot, we all three were surprised.
For in all the deer I have shot I have never seen one rear up or heard one scream before.

So yes they do, but it is very seldom that they do.

Answer 2

Rabbits make a godawful scream when they are injured or dying - though most people think it sounds more like a baby than a woman. But it is definitely a high-pitched and awful noise that sounds very much like it could have come from a human.

Answer 3

when injured yes they can make a very loud scream it is not the same a the bleat or bawl calls!



Have you ever heard a deer whistle?

Answer 4

This is one of the sounds that a predator call makes "deer in distresses", I use one when coyote hunting. I would not say it sounds human... The only way I can describe it would be a bah of a sheep but longer and more forceful.

Answer 5

I had a friend that hit one with their car tell me it screamed until someone finally shot it. She said it was the most ungodly noise she ever heard.
I have never heard one personally.

Answer 6

its kinda like a bleat like a goat not a scream the only animal i ever heard of like that would be a bob cat

Answer 7

rarely do they "scream" but bawl and bleat more often. if your bullet placement is good they make no sound. listen to a peacock some time, they scream just like a woman.

Answer 8

It is more of a bleating sound. It's pretty plaintive and can last 2 or 3 seconds. It's pretty pitiful, and unmistakable.

Answer 9

I've heard them "scream" several times. It falls somewhere between a bleet loud and unsettling, to a high pitiched scream (Like a woman would if being attacked)

Answer 10

Not in outer space. In space, nobody can hear you scream.
