Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    February 14, 2004
 

TIME:     3:30 am
 

LOCATION:   Bay County, Florida
 

TERRAIN:    Some swamp, several creeks, pine and hardwoods
 

OBSERVED:    Walked outside and heard several roosters crowing.  Thought it was odd, too early for sunrise crowing.  Then when the
roosters quieted down I heard a howl that sounded almost like a human hollering out to someone.  When it stopped the roosters began to crow again.  This happened 2 more times.  I hunt and have heard all manner of animals including: fox, coyote, deer, panther, turkeys and too many other birds to mention.  I have never heard anything like this before.
My husband was outside with me and couldn't identify the sound either.  Later he said it must have been a coyote, but I don't think
he wanted to admit he just didn't know what it was.  The area the sound was coming from is a hunting lease that is mostly covered with pines and hardwoods.
Not sure how much water is on that side of the Hwy. as it is private property.

Activities of Witness:   hanging out at the house

Description of Creature:  N/A
 

Other Notes:    My husband and I have smelled the "wet dog" odor out behind our house before.  The woods behind our house are
extensive and not to far from XXXX Creek.  There is a lot of cypress swamp back there.
I read about a sighting that happened in the 70's near XXXX Creek.  XXXX Creek flows into XXXX Creek.
