The witness and a companion were playing cribbage on their truck tailgate on a mountain ridge in the afternoon when they heard loud knocks from different directions.

Camper hears Wood Knocks, Whoops and has a possible sighting on the St. Joe River
On August 8, 2020 at about 9:30 p.m., the witness was camping alone near the Saint Joe River when he heard three loud, drawn-out whoops from the hillside above and to the east over his music. He turned off his speaker and heard no further vocalizations, and the area became very quiet. He made a whooping sound back, received no answer, and it remained quiet the rest of the night. No other campers were nearby.
Family hears "Ohio Howls" in the historic Marble Creek drainage, 47 mi SE of Coeur d’Alene
The witness was camping with family along Marble Creek near Avery in July 2019. While preparing dinner at dusk, she heard repeated long siren-like howls echoing from higher elevation. She could not match the sound to known owls or large animals, and her dog hid under the table. She later compared it to the Ohio Howl recording on the BFRO site.
Camper sighting at night, rocks thrown, on North Fork of Coeur d'Alene River near Enaville
After finishing dinner while camping, the witness and a companion were sitting by the fire when their dogs ran into the woods and returned frightened. The witness illuminated a large dark figure leaning from behind a tree about 30 feet away. A large rock was then thrown from the woods over the fire between the two people, the witness fired two shots into the air, and the figure was heard moving, breaking a tree, splashing across the creek, and ascending the opposite hillside. The pair left most gear behind, drove home, and returned the next morning to recover equipment and examine the broken tree.
Husband and wife see large upright figure leap from road around midnight on Freezeout Saddle near Clarkia
The witness and his wife were sleeping in their truck on a mountain ridgeline when they felt strongly uneasy and decided to drive down. A short distance downhill they saw a large brown furry figure in the trail briefly before it left the trail into the trees, bending a small fir. The witness searched with a flashlight but saw and heard nothing further and felt the animal might be hiding nearby, so they left the area.
Couple hears strange night time howls across stream from their home
On a winter evening at home, the witness went outside with the dog and heard prolonged loud howling he did not recognize. He brought his wife to listen, and they later heard what sounded like two separate sources calling from across a gulch while neighborhood dogs barked. After comparing internet animal sounds they felt the howls most closely resembled an alleged Ohio howl recording, but a later check of the area found no tracks.

Man tells of his possible daylight encounter as a young motorcycle explorer in the Coeur d'Alene National Forest
In August 1981 the witness rode a motorcycle up forest roads to a high peak near the North Fork. Near the treeline he uncovered a large old barefoot-like track and later from the summit saw a head-and-shoulders shadow watching from the dark treeline. The shape was gone when he looked back after viewing the panorama, and he rode quickly back down the mountain.
