I know bigfoot has been known to immate birds but has anyone ever heard of it doing a duck before?

The reason I ask is I was doing some yard work at my house yesterday which sits on a wooded lot I had picked up a bag mulch and was carrying it over to a flower bed when I noticed that things had gone dead quite I looked over into the woods and saw something moving back into woods because of the amount of undergrowth all I couldn't really make out the shape all I saw was some tanish/brown fur acouple feet up on something. I think it could have been a deer but there was still dead silence for acouple more minutes then quacking keep in mind there is pair of wood ducks that live on my lot so that could have done the quacking then after acouple of minutes the quacking stopped and heard normal song birds, some crows, the squierls come down out of there trees so things seemed to be back to normal. Then I went in the house got my 12 guage to be on safe side went into the underbrush were a saw the movement and found nothing no tracks of any kind or any hair.

I suspect you might have seen the tail end of a deer moving back into the woods. The quacking was probably your friendly neighborhood wood ducks and the timing of their calls where just coincidental in conjunction with what ever it was you saw moving in the woods.

I should ask though, do you live in an area with documented Bigfoot activity? And, how big is this wooded area close to your house?

We have a pair of mallard ducks that occasionally frequent our yard for some reason. ( There is a city park pond not too far from here where I think they reside permanently.) They love to stake out a claim in the mulch under our shade trees and sometimes hang out for as long as a week or so before they disappear again.

One difference between our mallard visitors and your wood ducks, we have never heard them make a sound. Out at the pond these ducks are extremely vocal, but quiet as a mouse when they're on our propriety.


Edit to add.....
I don't take too much stock in Bigfoot imitating anything, let alone birds. But thats just my opinion, not taking anything away from your experience.

I pulled an overnighter several years ago in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The only sound I heard the whole night was a lone "quack" that sounded like someone imitating a duck.

Wood ducks don't quack. They squeak & whistle, but they never, never quack.

'Here chicky, chicky, chicky...'

Now if this is true, that could put an interesting twist on things.

bipto,
Great link, I read that one myself a few weeks back. Someone else posted it in another quack quack Bigfoot/mimicking thread.

I believe there is a thread on here that discuss it.

Guys I'm probably being paranoid it has been literaly years since anyone in my county or a surrounding county has had a reported siting there my woods and the nieghboring woods are both each a couple of acres and then there is railroad track and another woods that's much larger. You know it probably was just timing more than anything else everything going silent and me seeing the brown fur moving seemed kind of wierd but the silence could have been caused by coyote, bobcat or outside chance of a puma. Acouple of nieghbors claim they saw one running lose and I have seen couple times on the news in the last few years about the police have shoot one because it's legal in ohio to keep then as pets.

u never know, but something uncanny happened seems to me/
i wouldnt be surprised if it was a bigfoot of course i dont know about the duck call but if
they can truly imitate other birds than why not. they are known to inhabit ohio frequently and like something
about it and there was plenty of woods, also they like to hang around railroad tracks i am told/ dont know why
unless its easy to get oriented by them or some food or something is easier to get.

theres ways too find out u know if its a bigfoot, listen closely at night for a few nights and at any time maybe
for weird sounds, whooops, growls, grunts whatever. weird behavior from domesticated critters like horses, dogs
cats, etc. pour or hose places along the woodline so their kind of muddy in preferred places to maybe get a print.
smell too, bigfoots mostly smell bad of course. other signs, markers, weird twisted or formed shapes from
tree limbs and branches, just be careful huh. i dont think the bigfoot is dangerous to humans right off hand and
in most cases being trigger happy at one was disasterous mostly. they usually just want to be left alone
and would probably just wanna be friends i bet. i keep pepper spray with me, not as effective as a gun,
but its also not as deadly and dumb

The thing is though monkeyears about the ohio bigfoot most of sitings are in the south quite bit further south than I live. It probably was deer I saw in the woods and there is pond on my property but I haven't any ducks on it for over a month and scare them away when they do come around because on don't want them going to the bathroom on the beach. So there could have could have been a duck around. I will poke around some more but I'm pretty well convinced that will a little bit odd it's not bigfoot.

Thank you all for your help and indulging my rather odd question.

Who knows maybe I will found a new crypto the duckquatch or the deerquatch.

Stealing thunder again.

A BF classic.

Maybe whatever it was you saw had just raided the dumpster behind this place...

and it wasn't quacking you heard.

For piece of mind keep your eyes open and maybe you'll get a better view of it next time that will answer your question once and for all what it was. Off the top of my head I can't remember reading any "Quacking" allegedly attributed to bigfoot. There's been so many different types of sounds that have been attributed to bigfoot, I'm just waiting for someone to report they heard Elvis talking out in the woods some day.

Yes, railroad tracks. Lotsa reports with them.

Take this tale for what it's worth...

When I was working on the rails, railroaders running between St. Louis and Jefferson City had talked about the big "naked Indian" who ran alongside trains they were running on their route. They described him as having long hair and a male organ John Holmes would cry to have. And he'd keep good pace with the lead engines.

You did not hear this from me. But...

The location I figure are the 2 multiple main tracks, former Missouri Pacific, now Union Pacific RR just west of Labadie, MO on the south bank of the Missouri River probably leading into Washington, Missouri (for a westbound). The tracks level off into the Mo River flood plain just west of Labadie with limestone bluffs on the south of the tracks, farmland for a stretch on the north; then you hit Washington and the MO River is parallel on the north for the most part on there into Jeff City without ever seeing your train's rear end again.

There's a gravel road used by both locals and RR Maintenance of Way that runs alongside and just below the rails past Labadie into Washington. This is the area I believe the stories say the "naked Indian" appeared to the crews who spotted him.

I've heard the tale from eyewitnesses who saw a "naked Indian". I've told this account here before, but probably without the exact locale information.

Get yourself a map. Look for Labadie, MO. Find Hwy T and there's a place just west of there where you can go to get to the tracks. It's Boles Road. Don't know how the locals would like it, but really, once you get to the tracks, you'd be on RR or state property, so you'd only have to worry about RR dicks bothering you, or a couple of '86 Camaros playing grabass. Stay on the road or around the RR easement, take a camera so that the train crew will think you're a foamer and look around. DON'T CLIMB ON THE TRACKS. STAY AT LEAST 100 FEET FROM THE RAILS WHEN A TRAIN PASSES. They can drag loose metal straps that'll slice you into breakfast steaks.

I ran the line for awhile but never saw him; but I heard enough to know that many crews had told stories spanning years of witnessing something resembling a naked long-haired, well-hung human running alongside trains around this spot. Track speed's 50 MPH going thru there, if that matters.

Don't get on the tracks! (The bed's too steep and unwalkable there anyway, but...) There's no crossings where you'll hear the horn and a westbound will make no sound coasting downhill into the flood plain. An eastbound may still run in Idle and be silent before grabbing the throttle for the uphill run at that point.

Safety first! Truly. Stay off tracks and as far away from a train as you can. During a mandatory roll-by, I had golf ball-sized chat rock kicked up from an 79 MPH Amtrak dragging something rain on me and it didn't feel too good.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,...............

Actually, it probably was a sasquatch. Ducks say "Aflac!"

I was thinking the same thing CC. The mallards on our pond quack like crazy but the wood ducks only squeak and whistle. Even when they are in flight.

It's definitely time for this gamer to start spending more time in his basement with his PS2 and out of the wood that way I don't have to contend with dangers of the real world such as natural light, bears, bigfoot, or squriels .

Never heard a bigfoot quack

Seen a horse fly

Seen a dragon fly

I even seen a house fly but I ain't never heard a bigfoot quack.


I heard a rubber band


I even seen a hot dog stand


But I ain't never heard a bigfoot quack.

Confirming this. Raised wood ducks for a few years, they don't quack. I believe the only wild duck that actually quacks is the mallard, but I'm not as well versed in wild fowl as I am domestic. Side note, remember only female ducks quack, the males make like a raspy quieter vocalization.

Maybe truth seeker has some other species of duck on the property?
Although wood ducks are distinctive looking and probably not easy to mistake.

But, Gnat Lite's good for ya, so long as you're of legal age. (Nothing personal. Just a mandatory disclaimer in these litigation-filled times. You might be 3 years old, for all I know, and I don't need some money-grubbing attorney claiming I said underage drinking was good.)

A PS2, a 30 pack, and you're set.

Is Wolfenstein on PS2?

Defender?

Pong?

Brrreeek....byoooo. Brrreeeeek! Byooooo.

A Magnavox 1000 beats a PS2 by miles.

Where's that corner with the TV?

About the only duck a Wood Duck might be mistaken for is the Mandarin Duck...

The Mandarin Duck (Not what you're served at a Chinese Restaurant) is a close relative of the Wood Duck that originated in Asia. Due to it's brightly colored plumage they are often included as one of the species found around display ponds such as in City Parks and Country Estates. Like the Wood Duck they don't "Quack" either. One distinctive call they make that is rarely heard is a "Grunting" sound that sounds very much like a wild pig.

Could other species of ducks be present besides the Wood Ducks. If the habitat is sufficient to support Wood Ducks it will support other ducks as well. They all like and need wetlands to survive on.

DR more like a bottle of wild turkey and just were all clear I'm 27 years old so I'm any way endorsing underage drinking either and I'm set and yes there is a Wolfenstein game for the PS2 Return to Castle Wolfenstein I haven't gotten it yet.

Guys I'm sure that I saw a wood duck I looked at it through binoculars and it was pearching in a tree at the time. There is pond on my property while there are no ducks that have taken up residents there as fair as I know, could one I have been there that I was unaware of definetly. The only reason I thought the quacking might be related to bigfoot is because it was dead silent in the woods expect for the quacking which I thought was very wierd both the pond and small drainage creek which is practily empty right now both are definetly close enough I could have heard a duck that was at either one.

heres a link to a good little page about the yeti

Awesome, Truth Seeker:

Wolfenstein kicks.

I'll try baiting BF with G-nat Lite. You try Wild Turkey. Then we'll compare notes drinking what BF failed to take.

BTW, your original post cracked me up big time.

DR

Interesting, but it begs the question, how does this relate to Bigfoot quacking like a duck?

This report was the first thing i thought of after i read the headline of the thread. good looks Bipto.

I THINK YOUR ALL ******* QUACKERS!!!!!!!
