Class B First-hand BFRO #48156

Duck hunter recalls hearing possible vocalizations from three individuals on Stockton Lake

December 1978 0630 5 Miles N Of Greenfields, Dade County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

While duck hunting from a canoe on a lake in the early morning, the witness heard very loud sustained calls from three different directions at varying distances. The calls were repeated in turn several times and were described as indicating very large lung capacity. The witness later became convinced the sounds matched published descriptions of Bigfoot calls.
