4 witnesses
Account
The witness was bowhunting with three companions when the party split into two pairs. About an hour later both pairs heard a long, deep, guttural scream coming from dense brush in a hollow below. The group regrouped and discussed the sound, stating it did not match familiar animal sounds from their hunting experience.
