Elk hunters hear screams in remote canyon below
Account
Two companions were elk hunting on a hillside before sunrise. They heard extremely loud, piercing screams from across the canyon repeating several times. The sound rose from low to high pitch and seemed to silence other wildlife for the day. They did not recognize the source at the time and did not search for footprints.
