Class B First-hand BFRO #44793

US Forest Service employee unnerved by possible vocalizations near Lydick Lake

11 August 2011 around noon Cass Lake, Cass County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

While working in a national forest around noon in August 2011, the witness heard high-pitched yelps or screams from one direction answered by very low guttural whoops from another direction. The two sets of sounds were described as about a mile apart and about a half mile away, repeating in a call-and-response pattern that sounded like communication. The witness, who described experience with wolves and other wildlife, stated the sounds were not wolves and searched nearby roads by truck without seeing the source.
