Fisherman describes possible howls and camp stalking at Round Lake, Uinta Mountains

Account

Two companions on a fishing and camping trip at Round Lake heard several loud, powerful howling moans from heavy timber below their overlook after sunset. The witness said the sounds did not resemble any coyote, wolf, human, or other animal familiar to him. Later that night something large moved through their camp, and the next morning horseback riders they met said something had spooked their horses overnight.
