Noisy terror in the woods?

So are most of the shooting folks Labradors round here.
In answer to your earlier post about rabbits squealing when injured, yes they do.
We moved to Ireland from South Africa not so long ago. The first time I heard a fox make that noise, or any sound for that matter, I thought someone was being attacked in the street. I later learned that there are foxes all over the place and they make that noise. There's a den in an abandoned house 2 houses down from us, so getting used to their sounds now. Strange, fascinating animals
I have heard rabbits screaming at night in the woods when a vixen has caught them, sometimes she will keep them alive to teach her cubs hunting and the noise goes on for ages
Why no sex? Are bears more likely to attack if you are having sex than if not?
Genuine question.

Sure. They want to know what’s happening with the production of possible new threats in their territory.

Well that’s kind of what I meant by threat. Bears don’t actually prey on humans as food, but they do kill them because they feel threatened. The sex pheromones would suggest to a bear a species they perceive as a threat is trying to increase its numbers in their area.

Humans are prey. The bears exercise considerable judgement regarding the effort needed to bring down prey. Sex is the scent of active prey.
Normally, nobody here allows their kids to walk alone to school. Large groups but usually driven in cars & trucks both in the Spring and the Autumn.
The bear threat responses (buried kill site, cubs, etc.) are normally fatal.
There have been recent reports of the big cats stalking little kids. That adds a serious risk to playing outside after school.
There are some very effective local hunters who make short work of those kinds of problems.
