Account

The witness was hunting at dawn when something moved in a half-circle around the position to get downwind. Once downwind it gave an ear-ringing scream followed by grunts for about two minutes, then left into very thick cover. A hunting companion also heard the scream, and neither reported seeing the source clearly.
