There should be tons of clear photos. Where are the pictures?” Easier said than done. Action cams can run for extended periods of time, as well as handle abuse and motion…but, they suck at distances. Cell phone cameras are not really suited for this…...... See the wolf behind my tent? It's less than 100 yards away from where I took the pic. Cell phone cameras suck. This wolf was @ 10 yards away at one point, but my cell phone was off (to conserve the battery) and in my daybag when this wolf approached. After she left to check out my sleeping tent, I ducked into the cook tent, got the camera out, and shot this pic. Cell phone cameras are great for snapshots, but that's about it.

IMO this is at the very minimum 'comparable' to what was recorded in the Sierra's. Washington, Southern Cascades. *Use of headphones is suggested* On January 3rd of 2016 I recorded an odd vocal in an area I call T1 that I believe the target subjects winter in. I placed audio out at about 5 p.m., dusk, and this recording occurs at 7:37 p.m. It was snowing like crazy that night and the recorder was in a marshy area with lots of old growth cedar bordering it. My good friend David Hallet cleaned the clip up for me. He's a bit of a sound wizard and was able to remove a lot of the ambient noise to bring the vocal out. Unfortunately, there was an airplane flying over when the vocal occurred. at least Thank you very much for sharing. I did listen on headphones.

She is very close and alone. That is certainly a good thing. That sure is a barren looking place you are camping.

I probably have some better examples I'll have to go look for. These took place in June of 2012. We had gone down for the night by maybe 1:30am, then at 2:24am something started to move in behind camp. These were recorded on a Zoom H2 about 75 - 80 feet east of my camper, under an oak tree. The vocalists were both west and south of camp. This lasted in spurts from 2:24am until right about 5am. The first clip is a condensed edit (removed dead air to keep it from being unnecessarily long) from 2:24am thru 2:30am. The second clip is roughly from 2:30 - 2:50 - condensed with dead time removed. If I can find some better examples of hearing them 'talk', I'll add it later. extended-vocal-display-1.mp3 2.99 MB · 18 downloads extended-vocal-display-2.mp3 4.07 MB · 11 downloads extended-vocal-display-3.mp3 504.94 kB · 8 downloads Wow 👌.

This is pass through the Watana Hills, elevation @ 3800'. Tree line here is @ 3000' elevation. No trees above that altitude. It allows great spot and stalk hunting. You can literally see animals miles away. But even then, it's remarkable how they can still sneak up on you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GuyInIndiana Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 I haven't really found any 'good' examples in our recordings I love, but here's another example of what we call jibberish. It was recorded back in 2012 as well. The audio comes from a DVR surveillance system I was trying to leave running 24/7 so when our host would tell us he'd heard activity back at the camp area I would be able to get to camp and review the DVR system on my next visit, to confirm or not if his report was accurate. The DVR and cameras were running on 12vdc from a battery bank I have in the camper bathtub and were kept hot all the time with 3 solar panels I have on the roof. The crappy thing about this recording is that I wasn't there so the system was running on the 12vdc power (since no generator was running) yet somehow there's a nasty AC interference in the audio. Some (not all) of the bullet style cameras had those built-in cheap mics in their plastic housings. That is what captured the audio here. This occurred about 2am and was heard live in real time by a couple staying in camp that weekend. Unbeknownst to them, about 20 minutes before this recording from the DVR (they were camped in a tent about 30 - 40 feet to the west of the camper) a Sony recorder that had been placed in a tree 75+ feet north of the main campsite had been approached, sniffed, fawned over, then ripped out of the tree it was hanging in. It wasn't until the morning that when it was found missing, a circular search around the area found it about 20' from where it had been hanging and the audio was reviewed. Based on the audio time-stamps of both recordings, this was 20'ish minutes after, and the BF approached their tent from the south (having circled around?) and gave them this berating. The rest of the night was silent. Hopefully you can hear the jibberish well enough over the odd interference in the audio. may-30-2012-200am-5302012 DVR audio.mp3 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKH Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yes, lots of interesting info. Guy, your stuff is always impressive, that last one sounds like some old MK Davis audio that was captured at close range. It's amazing how they can sound very human at times, but also definitely inhuman in their range and volume. Speaking as an audio buff, the vocal recordings are the most fascinating evidence. The Sierra recordings are right up there with the PG film in the important classics. It would be hard to keep up with all the audio gathered nowadays with modern equipment, so exciting! I have captured some odd vocal audio over the years, one example is from last year on pg. 8 of the audio thread. Not the best, due to distance, but odd and like an exchange. Have recorded similar examples, at least one for instance higher pitched, which I interpret as possible parent-child. I haven't recorded much this year, time to get back to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBorn Posted November 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 5, 2021 Huntster Your photo of the wolf looks like there seems to be two wolves in the photo. One wolf in front of the other. But you would know since I was not there. Very nice photo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
