LOCATION DETAILS: [Location specifics removed]

OBSERVED: I have spent a lot of time in the woods. I
was a climber for ten years and I have heard it all out
there. This was different.
I was with my sons. We all wanted to camp in a bigfoot
area, so we we went to a campground near Bluff Creek.
We were all in the tent and in our bags, the camp had
settled down and all of a sudden there was a whoop! They
were loud as if behind us, in succession whoop whoop
bah-whoop!! And it seemed that there was more than one,
I estimate three, one to the left of us, one behind us,
and one off in front at a distance. Also, something either
took a large step or jumped off something, and it was
big. The one behind us would call first and the one off
in the distance would call back. The one to the left
would whoop once, but the one behind would whoop three
times and the others once or twice. At the start of the
whoops would be almost a pucker or click sound. I figure
the one behind us was the lead because he would call
out and they would answer.
After about ten minutes the lead creature started to
move off with the one to the left towards the other.
I wanted to look out the tent but my youngest was with
me who is 6 and was real scared, because the calls were
so loud. I stayed with him and did not get to look till
it was over.
I found no evidence in the morning, but earlier that
day I noticed there were markings on a tree that was
not made by a bear, almost as if the bark had been picked
off. I have always followed this phenomenon and believed
there was a possibility. This solidified everything.
ALSO NOTICED: While walking earlier I found a small
trail, and as I went further I noticed big branches blocking
the path. The only problem was that this type of tree
was a ways away from which it fell. There was no way
it fell through the trees to the ground where it was,
whoever moved it was strong or it was about 4 people
who did it. The branch I estimate was 500lbs. And this
was in more than one area.
