    He hears only a faint, ghostly MOO.

    hmmm…did marconi know about this? there seems to be a bit of a debate as to whether he could have actually received a signal in newfoundland in december1901 broadcast from cornwall.

    That’s venison, not beef, and I’ve no idea whether deer vocalize at all.

    @runar

    Yes, they do. It is a bleat, much like that of a goat.

    Deer will grunt for different reasons. When a cougar is chasing them, they can scream.

    As do rabbits. It sound much like the cry of a human baby.

    I’ve heard rabbits scream. I once managed to sneak up on one close enough to grab it, and when it squealed, I was so surprised that I dropped it. I guess that’s what it was for.

    Ooops. I read that as ‘Verizon’ receiver. Maybe they work the same way?

    Deer also make a loud, harsh exhalation sound that’s short of a scream as a sort of alarm call for others in the herd. I hear that often enough out here in the boonies where deer can become numerous enough to be a real pest. I have to fence my garden if I want any tomatoes.

    I’d rather have a bacon receiver.

    But I’ve got a haunch that the price is rather deer.
