Account
Two companions on a week-long bow-hunting trip heard a long, loud scream-howl from a ridge across the logging road about half a mile away after other visitors left. The dog cowered in the tent while the men retrieved shotguns and stayed awake until early morning. They ruled out known animals and concluded it was likely a Sasquatch, though over the next few days they tried to rationalize it and continued hunting.
