BFRO #77455: IMPORTANT BEHAVIOR PATTERNS: Handful of Class B (knocks, thrown objects, etc.) on Black Creek 4.5mi N of Purvis

📍 Location

📝 Description

In late August of 2012, my wife and I were riding a four wheeler around some woods in a hunting club I was in at the time. We had rode down a river as far as we could, and came upon a swamp. I unloaded to look around. After a few minutes of walking the edge, a large pine root weighing around 150 lbs crashed through the tree canopy and landed about 15 feet in front of me. I witnessed the trajectory as it went up probably 45 feet in the air before coming down. I also noted no sane person would be in the middle of a swamp that time of year. Then again in mid November, my son and I were deer hunting in the same general area and heard a series of loud knocks coming from the direction of the same swamp. We returned the knocks and in turn, got a response. It was too slow to be a woodpecker, the only thing down here that knocks on trees. Then later in December, I was alone hunting on the western edge of the same swamp. I heard something large splashing in the water for over an hour. Only beaver do that here in the winter, and this sounded 400 or 500 pounds. The lease has since changed hands, and I no longer have access to it. This has been on my mind for a while and I needed to get it said.
