Four witnesses hear vocalizations in Davy Crockett National Forest
Account
Two witnesses scouting for deer hunting spots heard a yelp ending in a descending howl twice from one direction. After one witness struck a tree with a limb, they heard a single moan-like vocalization from the opposite direction. They interpreted the sounds as coming from two different animals communicating. The woods were otherwise quiet and the event lasted about half a minute.
