The witness was sitting on the deck at home just before dusk in early June 1997 when two extremely loud and powerful howls were heard. The sounds were compared to a howler monkey but described as far stronger and longer, and seemed to move south away from the house. The witness stated the sound could not have been a cougar or bear based on about 20 years of fishing and camping experience.
