Possible approach to campers near Spring Creek Pass in the San Juan Mountains
A couple stopped at sunset in a pullout beside a stream to eat and fish for the night. The witness heard loud crashing in brush near the truck, faint low growls from across the road, and later loud splashing from a drainage, while the companion reported finding very large, deep footprints in mud by the stream. Neither saw the source of the sounds or tracks, and they left the area feeling something large had stayed hidden nearby.
Hunter hears loud vocalization and is nearly trampled by a spooked Elk north of Burns
The witness and a relative were elk hunting and following two blood trails in a steep ravine at dusk. After a wounded bull ran past the witness, a very loud angry howl or growl came from the wooded hill below. The sound was described as far louder than an elk bugle and spooked horses in the area, and a strong foul odor was noted.
faint groaning and growling vocalizations heard.
The witness and a companion heard loud distant howls from their tent while camping overnight on two consecutive nights. Dogs on nearby properties barked and stayed agitated after the sounds. On the second night they also heard faint groaning/growling and later heard shots from the surrounding area.
