Never trying to chase after our potential friend. So not to be overly forward in a first encounter situation, we always do a mouth or rock clack back and hike on like nothing happened. This exchange has happen before in other areas we research at in the area. I saw nothing there, but I did a customary mouth clack to answer the rock clack, but got no response. I had my Canon T3I EFS 55-250 telephoto lens on at the time on with a Panoramic setting. I turned around and immediately took a picture of the area behind me where the trees were the thickest and in the direction of where the sound might have originated from. Suddenly, I heard a loud rock clack came from right behind me from the North. I had my camera out, turned on with the lens cover off. I had my Sony M-10 recorder pointing to the North.After a few moments, I decided to turn around, which would have me facing south. The recorder was dry under a plastic cover, but I placed some wood over it to protect it better from the hail. I was hiking by myself between rain showers at about 4:00 pm mst.Īfter a heavy down pour of pea size hail, I hiked up to a ridge above camp to check our audio recorder and take pictures of the area.
With intermittent rain and colder temperatures hovering in the 50 degree range, I forayed out. Jeff and Theresa experienced little the rest of the night.The following day was cloudy, rainy and the sky’s were overcast. However, it was distant, so Jeff payed little attention to it. The first day Jeff did a wood knock and got a response back from the woods in the form of a rock clack. On July 20-22, 2015 Theresa and Jeff Yelek investigated a new promising area in Northern Colorado for the first time.
