Class B First-hand BFRO #11313

Turkey hunters surprised by loud vocalizations near Wenatchee

Account

While turkey hunting in the morning with a relative, the witness used a turkey box call. A nearby loud howl that turned into a roaring scream answered the call, followed by two more distant replies farther up the canyon as the call was repeated. The pair moved toward the first sound but saw nothing in the scattered pines.
