coyote hunters see a leathery dark face per from the woods

14 August 2009 dawn Albany, Linn County, Oregon 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and a relative spent the night coyote hunting from a blind near a field and wooded area. In the early morning they heard prolonged tromping, shaking vegetation, logs thrown, branches breaking, and rapid movement. They saw a huge dark leathery face with big dark eyes peering from dense cover. A third person joined them and they searched the dense woods for about an hour, finding broken branches and demolished logs but no path, before the activity stopped.
