Hunters hear unusual animal stalking them at night.

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.

Camper details possible encounters in 2005 and again in summer 2009 near Trout Lake

A group was camping overnight at a remote forested lakeside camp. After hearing distant screams that seemed to shift position and prolonged branch-breaking around camp, the witness stayed awake listening while others slept. The witness heard heavy running and breathing pass the RV and noticed moonlight through the windows dim briefly, then later the companion's son fled his tent to the RV reporting tree-banging, movement, darkness at the tent, and a voice imitation. No one saw anything, and the next morning knocking elicited whistle replies from the woods.
