Hunter remembers possible howls and footprints near Baker City
Three hunters spread out in a draw heard a prolonged moaning-howling sound likened to a weak yell for help, with two of them also hearing a loud pop nearby.

Returning to the same area the next morning, they found a large footprint in a cow patty which they linked to the previous day's sounds.
