Account
Two hunters camped overnight on a wooded slope while elk hunting. After dark they smelled a strong putrid odor, heard distant whistle/howl sounds and a closer loud howl, then heard deliberate footsteps crunching in snow approaching the firelight. After shouting and firing a pistol shot, they heard a grunt and running footsteps, then fired repeatedly and drove off the mountain the same night.
