Whooping in Pierce County, Washington

My wife and 10 year old son just returned from a weekend cub scout camp out at Joemma Beach State Park on the Longbranch Peninsula in Puget Sound. Early this morning, probably about 2 am, several of the scouts and their parents were awoken by a series of what they described as whoops. My wife described three whoops as being VERY close and a short time later, maybe a few minutes, another series of whoops farther away as if the animal was moving away. She said it was unnerving to the point that she wasn't going to leave the tent the rest of the night. She described the sound as nothing she has ever heard before. Many of the parents and boys that heard the sounds were discussing it this morning and the possibility that it was a sasquatch did come up.
