Hunter's elk calls ellicit vocal responses from multiple animals
Account
The witness and a relative were elk hunting from a ridge overlooking beaver ponds near dusk and called for elk. In response they heard loud, prolonged howling and whining vocalizations from multiple animals on the opposite ridge, repeated over about 10-15 minutes. They also heard splashing and saw ripples on a pond but saw no animals, then left quickly for their vehicle.
