Thought it could be a red fox, but this time it sounded like it was in the trees (straight up, so I doubt a fox could get there). https://youtube.com/shorts/LLS4LVgD9GE?si=3yP4RjUmhch8OPrW

It is currently turkey season at my farm, and they are surprisingly thick on the game camera despite the extended drought conditions. I have not yet caught any sasquatch on my cameras. However, I did not realize that I need to point my cameras up into the tree canopy. I should have figured that out on my own, because the only way they can dodge all of the bigfoot hunters with camera crews is to avoid leaving gigantic footprints on the ground.

Red Fox was one guy's confident answer, it may be, but this time seemed to be high in a tree. Fairly loud, I could hear it easily at the other end of the pond. Type of frog?

Our local great blue herons make some similar throaty, croaking sounds. Any chance they are starting a nest? I have a GBH colony on the route to my farm where they nest every year. Their nests look like eagle eyries stuck up high in cottonwood trees.
