Account

Three people camping while bear hunting heard loud howls and screams from the treeline surrounding their camp at night. The sounds appeared to circle the camp and continued despite banging pots and pans and firing a shotgun into the air. The group packed up and waited in their truck until about 4 a.m. while the sounds persisted, then left. They later found openly left food untouched and found no tracks.
