Hunters observed creature just before vocalization screams were heard
Account
The witness and his father were turkey hunting near a clearing at dusk when a dark figure emerged from timber and approached before abruptly fleeing downhill into a steep canyon. They later walked to the spot and estimated its height at about 6-foot-6 to 7 feet based on a tree limb. Later that night at a nearby camp they were awakened by an extremely loud, prolonged AHHH-like yell from the clearing direction, repeated about half an hour later from farther up the canyon.
