Target shooter hears strange sounds (see video) and finds possible tree-breaks and prints off of the Mountain Loop Highway

The witness and a companion stopped off a forest road so the witness could target shoot while the companion waited at the truck. After the witness returned to the road, both heard repeated very loud cracking snaps from a wooded hilltop about 100 yards away, spaced about 30 seconds apart, along with movement and bark-ripping sounds. The witness walked partway up the hill filming with a cell phone and captured at least one loud crack before returning to the truck and leaving.

Large rock thrown while two friends sit by campfire on Green Mountain

Two companions drove to a lookout on Green Mountain to camp for the night and sat by a campfire. The witness heard branch and twig breaks approaching, then a stick flew over the truck, followed by a basketball-sized rock landing a few feet from the fire. Without seeing the source, they put out the fire and left quickly.
