Class B First-hand BFRO #56829

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon

1 October 1983 day and night Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma 3 witnesses

Account

Three hunters camped in a river bottom over the opening weekend of bow season. Over several days and nights they reported heavy impacts, rustling, a skunk-like odor, red eyeshine, wood knocks, whistles, talk-like mumbling, a whoop-ending vocalization, and bent trees and branch structures. The most intense moment was a predawn episode with a deep guttural roar followed by a scream-like sound near camp. They left early after smelling the odor again near a plum thicket.
