Possible interacting vocalizations heard by hunter near Hyrum
Account
The witness was hunting alone on a plateau ridge, using hand-made calls to attract elk and coyotes. Something vocalized in the distance and exchanged calls for about half an hour, with what sounded like three individuals approaching to about 30 yards below in cover but never emerging. Feeling uneasy and unsure what they were, the witness ran about a mile back toward the truck and later described the sounds as a mix of chimpanzee, loon and coyote.
