Webster Parish, Louisiana
TERRAIN:
National Forest
OBSERVED:
I arrived at the two small ponds where i have been fishing at about 6:30.
I grabbed my gear and headed to the other end of the lower, larger pond
about 150 yards from where i parked my truck. On the way i noticed
a bit of movement across the pond to my left but paid it no mind as there
are alot of deer in the area. I settled in on the dam and started
fishing, after a few min i heard a low growl / snort sound coming from
behind the dam, from where i was sitting you couldn't see over the dam
so i walked to the top of the dam thinking it was a hog, i wanted to scare
it off so I started flailing my arms making myself as large as possible
when i got to the top of the dam there wasn't anything there. Then
i got the uneasy feeling i was being watched. I ignored it and went
back to fishing. About thirty seconds after i returned to my gear,
I heard what i thought was a falling tree over my right shoulder about
twenty or thirty yards away, a few seconds later i heard some sort of knocking
sound and then a scream, holler, roar sound that told me i definitely had
been warned. i grabbed my gear and ran to my truck like a little
girl lol. I started my truck and realized i had left my minnow bucket
and spare pole down on the dam. I stood on my truck for a bit not
seeing anything i got my nerve up and went back after my gear. I
got my gear together and was leaving when i heard a splash, writing it
off as a fish i continued to walk back to my truck then i heard another
splash i looked over my shoulder just in time to catch a glimpse of a football
sized rock flying over the dam, hitting the middle of the pond. then there
was another scream that put me in my truck in record time. I have never
in my life heard anything like it and I've hunted all over the country.
And I pride myself on being a strong guy but what ever it was showed me
otherwise, I couldn't have thrown a rock that size twenty feet much less
the forty to sixty it was being thrown. I would like to know what
it was, but I don't think I will be returning anytime soon.
