I always said just hearing an elk bugle echoing through the woods, in person, would probably make me piss myself. That's got to be a beautiful sound.


Up close it made me shiver it was so bad arse.

Screaming sound of a steelhead ripping line from my reel.

My rod bouncing in the holder as a Salmon pummeled the wobbler.

Sound of a creek next to my tent.

I like listening to the woods wake up. The different song birds, squirrels chattering, wood ducks overhead.
The bolt closing on my SX3.
A bunch of the aforementioned sounds as well.

If I had to pick a second behind a turkey gobble, it would be the sound of a turkey flopping while the echo from the shotgun report bounces around out of the hollows below.

Line ripping off your reel when you hook into a nice tuna?

Those are all real good, but I just like how quiet it can get.


In the trees during a good heavy snow. Not sure it gets any quieter than that.

Grey fox barking when you are calling.

Quail doing their whistle.

Pintail doing their whistle.

Fish going in the fryer for the first time every spring.

The first "take 'em" of duck season.

Running down South Pass late Oct and breaking into the Gulf right as the sun just starts to crack in the east. One can really hear it.

Every morning hearing/seeing the woodies flying and landing in my pond. Only 6 this morning.

The crackle of firewood

The small crunch of stepping on frosted grass or leaves

The subtle ring of a sharp knife through hide when skinning

Vacuum breaking on a thermos full of coffee followed by the gurgle of it burping out

The click of a safety being disengaged

The sound of a bows release, arrows slight whistle, and final thud against a target.

An outboard/4 wheeler cranking up on a cold morning

A large mouth blowing up on top water

The lack of sound when a jig hits the water just right

A wood ducks squeal flying overhead while flipping cypress knees

A tungsten weight slamming up against a dock

I really like what others have wrote but for manmade sounds its:
The sound of slick seas and twin outboards as you are headed south or in the duck blind when someone says take em

I also appreciate when someone yells the dogs on point

There's a soft breeze from the south. The sun is barely rising in it's full glory in the east. You have just put the skiff on full plane and you're headed to that point where the big trout were laying last week. When your nine year old grandson says something incomprehensible to you. So you reply, over the smooth humming of the engine, WUT? He turns his head toward you and raises his voice and says,"It's BEAUTIFUL"!

A big covey busting at the dog's feet after it's locked down on them. You know they're there, you can pretty much see them, but they stop your heart when they blow up every time.

The beagles getting jacked up and ready to bawl & Pow Pow Cove's "There he goes!" when a rabbit jumps up out of the briers.

Braid singing against the rod guides and drag pulling as you reel.

My son's excited whisper of "can I shoot now?" as he gets a buck in his scope for the first time.

The heavy, sick thump and splash as your brother-in-law slips on the rocks and falls in the trout stream.

Shot falling back on the metal roof of the blind after a huge volley.

-The whistle of duck wings when you can't see em but know they're coming in hot.

-The heavy thud/splash of a greenhead hitting the water after plucking him out of the sky.

-The sound of braid against the eyes of a rod when you set the hook into a 3# bucketmouth

-The crisp sound of the first beer being opened after a successful morning in the blind.

-The giggling of grown men after a huge flock of mallards just descended on your spread and you shot well. Just pure, unabashed joy.

-The "WOOOAAAH!" when your blind mates respond to a looong follow-up shot you just made.

-The anxious whimper of a duck dog as birds land in your spread before shooting light

-The sound of a paddle breaking the water in the early morning on a calm day.
