Sometimes when I am outside late at night and turn the spot lights (on the deck) on, an animal starts making the weirdest noise. The sound is coming from the woods. It's not a bark! The best way that I can describe it is to say that it sounds more like a big (30-40 pound) cat growling/roaring. I've never heard of a bobcat in Ohio but that is the first thing that came to my mind. Any ideas as to what this might be? It doesn't sound like a coon. Could it be a fox that doesn't like me shining the light at it's den? I don't know what kind of noise a fox makes. As my dogs go to that portion of the fence and bark the noise gets louder and more frequent, like a warning. I'm stumped.

Bobcats are definitely found in Ohio.

They're fiesty animals. Even though they are "small", we had one that used to roam our property and I wouldn't let my dane herd out at night because of her. She had no qualms about rushing one of my dogs. We had to be very cautious about walking through the woods.
