A listener writes “Hey Wes, a long time listener and really enjoy the show! I hate to bother you with this but I live in Urbana, Iowa in the middle of the woods and heard this really strange sound yelling in the woods tonight, I know you’ve been playing name that sound and was wondering if you had any ideas? I attached the recording below.”
I have take all three recordings and made them into one. I also cleaned it up. At first I thought I knew what known animal sound this was but after listening to it, I am not so sure. Take a listen:

Does sound strange but then again it could just be coyote or foxes
Wes
I was thinking coyote but it sounds too deep.
Ron S
Definitely made my dog go on full alert, which usually doesn’t happen with sounds though my phone.
Teresa V
it doesn’t sound like any coyote I’ve ever heard!
Daren c
That is strange huh. Does sound deep and like it had some lung capacity to it
Truett C
My dog listened for a few minutes then got up and left. The regular sounds on here she has no problem with unless they are played really loud. This sounds like something or someone in pain or injured.

That is absolutely creepy. Very interesting, it sounds like a large animal. Kind of sound like a human having a really bad day but too loud and deep. Strange all the way around!!

It was super creepy! I took the recording on my back porch and have no clue what it is!
Peter L
Sounds like it’s in pain like it was caught in a bear trap or something. Definitely has a canine sound to it, but not quite
Hugh G
Sounds like Squatch Jr. left his Lego lying about the forest again

I’m what geographic area was this recorded?
Ryan L
It was in east central Iowa

I’m from this town, what part of town did you hear it from? I don’t live there anymore, but just curious.
Ryan M
Did you hear it near the Cedar valley nature trail?
