Class B First-hand BFRO #65276

Husband and wife hear vocals while making camp at dark, near Priest Lake

7 October 2017 Approximately 6:30pm to 7:30pm Nordman, Bonner County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

A couple and their dog set up camp for the night in a closed campground area after kayaking. After dark they heard loud whoo-like calls from the woods to the north, with a second much louder call from close range and a fainter answering call from a distance. They judged the calls too loud to be an owl and were frightened, retrieving a pistol, but heard no vehicles, lights, footsteps, or odor. Nothing further was heard overnight and nothing appeared disturbed in the morning.
