was walking alone in a park near the littleton area with a dog. no one else was around (no cars in the parking lot when we came nor left) and there was no one on the trail today. we were getting further back in the woods (while still on the path) when i first thought i heard something. i had my hat and hood on so it was hard to tell what it was. i pulled my hood down and clapped a few times, but didn’t hear anything else. five minutes or so deeper into the woods we hear what i can only describe sounded like a snow shovel being dragged across the ground. i can hear the highway from that area, but this sounded way closer. it could have been a snow plow, but when i zoomed out on google maps after, the closest street seems a bit far for something like that to sound so close. it sounded a bit guttural and like it was coming from the woods (not a distant street) and lasted for several seconds between breaks. needless to say we noped out of there pretty quick, but does anyone have an idea on what it could’ve been? i have yet to see any larger wildlife back there but who knows.

Male moose rubbing antlers on a tree, perhaps. That sounds like a plastic snow shovel
