LOCATION:   Macon County, North Carolina 
 

TERRAIN:    National Forest 
 

OBSERVED:    My girlfriend and I were checking out and photographing some beaver ponds as we were leaving one to go see the next one downstream we heard a loud whoop call from across the ponds in the woods we immediately stopped and questioned each other about what it was.  We both looked in the direction of the call nothing moved and no birds were seen.  We continued on down to the other pond I was continuously watching the woods ahead and around us and saw nothing.  I am 47 years old and have camped and hiked in the woods all my life and I have never heard a sound like that it completely unnerved the hell out of me.  We explored the ponds a little longer but heard nothing else.  We decided to hike to a fire tower whose road was closed for the winter it was mainly snow covered.  We spotted a few footprints about a quarter mile up the road but they were hard to tell what they were and just thought it was someone playing a joke as we continued on the snow got deeper and we spotted the tracks again this time they were very clear.  They continued alongside the road for a few yards before going into the woods near the top of a ridge we continued on without seeing anymore footprints.  The tracks were not fresh.  We took photos of several of the prints a couple with me trying to match the stride and a couple with our feet beside as comparison.  These tracks were about two miles from the locked gate.
 

Activities of Witness:   girlfriend was alongside the whole time.  We were alone when we heard the call and saw the footprints. 
 

Description of Creature:  Didn't see it.
