Possible vocalizations heard in the Bradshaw Mountains

Here is a report from 2010 in Yavapai County, Arizona.

“I was camping up there over this past weekend. heard something really weird on friday night. really creepy too. Ive heard all kinds of coyote calls and this was not coyotes, im certain. not a bird either. not an elk, deer, no kind of big cat. couldnt be wolf because there arent any wolves around here. didnt sound like a wolf anyway.

I dont dis-believe in bigfoot, not a cynic or anything. so if someone more informed than me listens to these recordings and tells me its a coyote then okay, great. but this was WEIRD. it was NOT a canine type sound. anyway, I was in the tent when I recorded the sounds, so there is static, but you can still hear pretty well. I will upload them to my computer tomorrow and send them to you guys if youre interested.

The main reasons im reporting this are that 1. it was really weird, 2. I searched prescott bigfoot on the internet and saw the report from the other couple you have on your site. i listened to that ohio howl, it doesnt sound like that. but anyway. im no expert, so if you guys are interested let me know.

ps. my writing is kinda all over because im super tired. but the first thing I did when I got home was to start researching this, thats how freaky the sounds were.”

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator TF Zamiski:

I spoke to this witness by phone. This witness has camped at this location about twenty times over the past three years mostly in the spring and fall. This trip was early winter.

He has never heard anything like this. Thinking perhaps other campers were possibly making the vocalizations he drove around to search the area the next day and did not find any other camps.

The calls came from the southwest starting around 10:45 pm he estimated that they originated about one mile away. He heard three sets of calls lasting over a period of 35 minutes and seemed to move closer to his location each time. Retrieving his digital recorder from his vehicle he was able to record some of the calls. I have listened to them and there is alot of noise on the recordings but I was able to hear the sounds. I agree that with this witness that the calls were weird, as in not what I would expect to hear from any known animal in this area. After listening to recordings on the BFRO website he said that one of the calls was similar to the 2004 Mississippi Howl. I have listened to the sounds and agree with the similarity.

Another investigator and I visited this location two weeks after the incident. We found good water supply and deer sign from around the same time as the incident.

    I picked one of the areas I go camping because of this and a few other reports. There are some pretty remote and rugged areas in the Prescott NF. Plenty of water and wildlife and alot of sheer, rocky cliff faces.
