Account
The witness was elk hunting on foot near Mule Mountain when they stopped to listen in unusually quiet woods. From timber nearby they heard three rapid bottle-like blowing bursts followed by a loud guttural trilling call. The sounds were unfamiliar and triggered intense fear, prompting the witness to leave immediately for the truck and never return to the area.
