Class B First-hand BFRO #5929

Hunter hears vocalizations, basketball-sized rocks rolled toward him

October 1987 between 10:30 and 11:30 am Huntsville, Weber County, Utah 1 witness

Account

The witness was deer hunting alone in the morning when he heard an extremely loud low growling sound from dense cover upslope. He could not see the source even with binoculars, but saw branches shaking about nine to ten feet up and two basketball-sized rocks roll out of the cover toward him. Feeling watched and unnerved, he walked out calmly the way he had come while the sound continued until he rounded a bend in the trail.
