While scouting, hunter hears morning vocalization west of Scappoose
The witness was scouting and watching six deer off Dutch Canyon road in the early morning. The deer looked east toward a treeline about 1000 meters away, then a loud scream rising into a moaning growl came from those woods and the deer fled west. The witness watched the treeline with binoculars for almost two hours but had no visual sighting.
Two hunters hear repeated loud screams.
The witness and a companion were elk hunting near their vehicle about an hour after daylight when they heard repeated loud wailing screams tapering to moans from a canyon about 250-300 yards away. The calls occurred several times over about ten minutes and seemed to shift direction. There was no visual contact, and the sound frightened the witness.
Fishermen hear large animal crashing through the brush in the Blue Mountains
The witness and a companion were fishing at Spring Lake in the evening. From across the road they heard loud howling with grunting and angry sounds while brush was being thrashed. They looked toward the sounds for some time but saw nothing, then left in their truck past the area. They later drove nearby forest roads searching for tracks or a sighting but found nothing further.
Vocalizations heard on Knob Mountain
The witness was walking a dog late at night on a road next to woods when the dog stopped, stared toward the mountain, and growled. About 30 seconds later the witness heard a loud howl/scream lasting up to about 20 seconds that seemed to come from partway up the mountain, after which neighborhood dogs began barking. The witness and dog returned home, and a check of the area the next morning found no tracks.
