Hunters Hear High Country Vocalizations
Account
Four bowhunters bugling for elk heard a powerful howl they said was not an elk and was not made by their own party. As the sounds drew closer, one member of the party saw a dark brown flash of fur in the trees but could not identify it. The group then drove out of the area and did not return to hunt.
