Class B First-hand BFRO #41195

Woman hears possible vocalizations in the James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area

May 2013 around 1:30pm Lee's Summit, Jackson County, Missouri 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was photographing along the tree line on the south side of the lake when she heard a close grunting-snorting sound followed by a deep growl without seeing the source. Shaken, she returned toward two fishermen and then left across the dam, photographing a large print in the mud. From the car area she heard the same loud vocalization coming from across the lake where she had been and saw the fishermen hurrying across the dam, after which all parties left.
