Sighting by couple trolling for fish in Cold Creek Lake

A couple were trolling slowly by boat up a flooded channel while fishing. The husband saw a dark bulky figure hunched behind brush watching them, while the wife experienced birds going quiet and then saw bushes moving up into the woods as something left quickly. They backed out of the channel and left the area.

2 men hear vocalization while calling up coyoties

Two people sat in a field at night using a wounded rabbit call to attract coyotes. A very loud two-toned roar-like crying vocalization was heard from the dark about 10 to 15 times and seemed to move without ever stepping into the light to be seen. The witness tried unsuccessfully to illuminate the source, left afraid, and later returned in daylight and found no tracks.
