📝 Description
I think I may have had a encounter the other day while me and 2 of my friends were hunting for wild hog on the yellow river WMA. We were in some super thick pine wood area that had a ton of hog sign which was right by the river and swamp area. We had just found a big sign of uprooted area from hog and we decided to sit for a second and see if we could hear anything. After a few minutes we heard a pretty big limb snap and I saw what I thought was a buzzard fly off, so not sure if it was the buzzard that snapped the limb or the result of the tree snapping which spooked the buzzard into flying off. A few minutes after that I heard what sounded like a person slamming a baseball bat in a tree 3 times (knock knock knock) very loud from around 100-150ft away and about 5 seconds after that another (knock knock knock) which sounded around 300-400 yards away. Our initial thought is that it was other hunters possibly taking down a tree stand since it�s the end of the season. With us thinking it was other humans we walked through the dense woods to the road and expected to see a truck parked along the side of the road on our way back to my truck. We did not see a single othe vehicle the walk back (and even drove the opposite way and no cars). And there�s no way given the location in the terrain that you could get to this spot other than by car. I know what woodpeckers sound like and unless the woodpecker was the size of a Pterodactyl it was not that. The first set of knocking was so loud there was no way it was anything I am familiar with. Given the fact there was no other cars in the area I honestly do not know what else could have made those noises.
