Fischer cats can make some demon goose noises when they get together.

Don’t think it’s a fisher cat—sounds more high pitched and screechy. But thanks because now I know what a fisher cat sounds like! Cool!

Fox would be my next bet then. They have a range of vocalizations.

Could be! But there seem to be a number of them. Do foxes move in packs?

Foxes mature quickly, but will stay with their mom and hunt as a team for 5-6 months after reaching maturity. It's how they learn to hunt and survive outside the den. Communication with other foxes is their primary reason for vocalizing.

Foxes, maybe? They make a scream-bark noise sometimes and it’s really unsettling.

Never knew these guys were a thing until growing up my dad came inside after walking out in the woods. He said all of a sudden he started hearing these growls and hissing and looked up and there were three of them in some trees ahead of him just watching him. He said he turned around and headed right back home after deciding he wasn’t fucking with them.

The first one I saw up close was caught in a have a heart trap while we were trying to relocate some skunks... moving the cage with a very upset Fischer was about 1000 times more frightening than the stink bomb alternative we were aiming for.
