Class B First-hand BFRO #57182

Hunter hears chimp-like sounds north of the North Pass ski resort

9 September 2010 afternoon Packwood, Lewis County, Washington 1 witness

Account

The witness was hunting elk with a muzzleloader several miles north of a ski area as snow began to fall. From a small canyon he heard chimp-like huffing and chattering that seemed to come from three individuals on both sides of the ravine. He tried to see the sources as the sounds kept moving ahead with him but saw nothing, then returned to camp as the storm worsened and daylight faded.
