Hunter finds broken turtle shells and hears possible vocalizations near Coolin

24 October 2014 about 11 or 1 in afternoon Coolin, Bonner County, Idaho 1 witness

Account

The witness was hunting near a marsh trail when he found two broken turtle shells sitting on logs. After sitting to wait for deer he heard whoop-like calls from five directions for about 15 minutes, some seeming to come from trees, until he stood and the area went silent. While walking out he heard a loud bat-like crack and whooshing through nearby brush but saw nothing.
