Class B First-hand BFRO #10646

Elk hunter hears loud screams at night near Deadman's Lake

15 September 2004 11:24 PM Cougar, Skamania County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness backpacked to Deadman's Lake for a one-night stay during elk season. Before dark he heard a distant howl, then at about 11:24 p.m. he was awakened by a loud high-pitched screaming howl from the meadow next to his camp. He opened the tent with a light and camera but saw nothing and did not hear the sound again, though nearby owls called afterward. In the morning he searched and found only elk and no unusual sign before packing out as weather turned.
