Guest onthelooseagain Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 hey, got a question, is there anybody doing research in honobia? reason is, i am house/pet sitting in the honobia area. yesterday morning and this morning i heard a long high pitched howl at about 645am. i couldn't sleep good last nite and i went outside about 345 am and i heard a long drawn out deep growl with short grunts behind it. all these sounds sounded human, or like call blasting. i am going to set my recorder out and hopefully get something, and it will actually work right, and take my video camera out everytime i go outside. this persons home is nestled in the woods, not far from little river. i will be checking a couple of times a week. don't have tv or internet there.

Guest onthelooseagain Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 well, i am house/pet sitting in the honobia area, i just wanted to make sure there were't any other researchers doing vocals. i did figure out the long high pitch howl, come to find out it's in the persons water system or septic, and it does it 3 or 4 times a day. but on the other hand the other growl type thing was 330am and i still haven't identified that one yet. i also got some interesting wood knocks during the day in between storms the other day. i know this area is very rich in sightings and such, and i just wanted to make sure i'm not recording someone elses call blastings. i don't get on the computer much, may 1 or 2 times a week, sheesh not even cell service and no tv there. i am going to research a place nearby, the person lives off the grid and their land butts up to the honobia wildlife refuge, the person believes they have had some activity.

Guest Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Headed there as soon as I get a few days from work Hey Gearman can you tell us a little bit about the sightings that you had down there? thanks We were in a larger group spread out and another guy had a sighting not me but I was involved in going to some spots where we found some tracks and also when I had to leave unplanned at midnight with my son ill after doing some extended outdoor cooking (to attract attention with Kingsford fired steak, hot links, onions, garlic, peppers etc) the other folks also fired up there vehicles to head out and return to the others and they saw something with gray hair hiding behind some trees in the woodline over 6 ft high right behind where I was cooking at the base of a mountain in a protected "gravel pit" kind of area near the dumpster which are near the old Humphreys homestead where "The Siege" occurred. The sighting I referred was of a big fella and down the ridge a good ways down from our base camp. Some giant 22'' tracks were cast in that area as well as some smaller more normal sized ones in some areas I explored. Several of the guys had thermals and did run across a thermal hit of a mountain lion on a night hike and also on Sunday night a small black bear came boldly into basecamp and stirred everyone up at 2 AM driving them to sleep in their vehicles. I believe some vocals were heard and maybe recorded too, it was a decent weekend about 3 weeks ago. Track casts are not spectacular due to typical Oklahoma terrain and rocky soil and leaves litter but toes details were present as was correct overall shape and proportions. In an alternate location across McCurtain County where tracks were found and the same spot as the sighting of adult and baby BF where DW took the I phone pic of the baby, I found a manipulation of a large fell tree that had smaller branches stacked around to make a blind or shelter of sorts where one could fit inside, it was plenty of room for me and I am 6'1" @ 295# https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151436114846453&set=gm.581126768576036&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151439764466453&set=t.530866452&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151439764571453&set=t.530866452&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151439764586453&set=pb.530866452.-2207520000.1371680495.&type=3&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151439764436453&set=pb.530866452.-2207520000.1371680495.&type=3&theater Edited June 19, 2013 by GEARMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zenmonkey Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Once in honobia, where is a good place to camp/start research? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbhunter Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Pretty much in some of the cabins that are out away from people. Or anyplace in the National Forest to Honobia, they travel the Little River too. KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Go to the Honobia Creek Store on a Friday evening for all you can eat fried catfish with all the trimmings with cobbler and a cold refreshing Sioux City Sasparilla then pick any direction!

Guest Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Right on! Check out Cedar Lake on the N side of the Talimena Scenic drive Hwy 1 just North of Honobia. Pretty regular activity besides usual Honobia and Little River areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunflower Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Zen, Watch out for chiggers, ticks and snakes. On the way home you can always stop by Meers and have a Meers burger. Be prepared and bring a friend, those things are as big as a dinner plate. Also I've heard rumors that they hang around near the dump in Honobia.
