Elk hunter reports trees being pushed over and vocalizations in the Colonel Bob Wilderness

3 November 2018 dusk/dark Humtulips, Grays Harbor County, Washington 1 witness

Account

On opening day of elk season the witness camped alone on a remote spur road after hunting all day. After dark he struck a tree with a limb, then heard a large tree pushed over upslope, primate-like yells and chatter from both upslope and the ravine below, and heavy footsteps. Unnerved by the sense of being surrounded, he packed up and drove out without seeing anything.
