Hunter's whistles answered while digiscoping a Moose on Fort Hall Indian Reservation
Account
While hunting in southeast Idaho in fall 2016, the witness was photographing a moose through a spotting scope and whistled to make it stop. Five high-pitched whistles came in immediate response from a brush patch, which the witness believed was not the moose. The witness then saw what looked like brown eyes in the brush where the moose had put its head down, and took grainy photos that showed nothing significant.
