Class B First-hand BFRO #9426

Hunter hears early morning vocalization not far from Weldon

September 1989 early morning gray light Weldon, Kern County, California 1 witness

Account

The witness was deer hunting alone before dawn from a rocky bluff. While glassing the brush-covered mountainside in gray light, he heard a very loud booming scream from several hundred yards upslope that he compared to a woman screaming. He first wondered if someone was playing a trick, but the steep terrain, darkness and dense brush unnerved him and he left the area immediately.
