I'm pretty sure me and my buddy heard one last year. It was probably 9:30- 10:00 at night we are sitting round the campfire drinking beer and down the road we hear what sounds like a woman scream. We were a couple miles further on up from any of the other hunters that had camped down low so it obviously wasn't a woman that made that.
