Possible vocalizations heard while cleaning a deer near Florence

26 November 2008 about 7pm, dark Florence, Florence County, Wisconsin 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and his father took a harvested deer to another cabin at night to dress it. While the witness was cleaning the deer, a loud rising whoop followed by three shorter whoops was heard from beyond the cabin and lasted several seconds. Both men were frightened, retreated to the truck, and left soon after the cleaning was finished. A search the next morning found no trace.
