Elk hunters have knock answered, hear roar vocalization, have tent slapped, north of Mt. St. Helens.
Account
The witness and a relative were camping in a remote clearing on the first night of an elk-hunting trip. After splitting firewood in the evening they heard loud knocks from the woods, and one loud knock came back after the witness knocked in return. Around 1 a.m. they were awakened by something slapping their tent and by a loud roar beside the tent, but searches with lights found no tracks, broken branches, or odor.
