Class B First-hand BFRO #5162

Man hunting deer finds unusual feces and hears animal

October 2002 around 8 am Ardenvoir, Chelan County, Washington 1 witness

Account

While hunting deer alone in the morning, the witness heard repeated sounds like logs or poles being thrown, then found a tree with bark removed, a large packed bed, a human-like track, and unfamiliar scat. After glimpsing brown fur duck behind a log, the witness heard an extremely loud low roar-like yell from behind with crashing, then heard crashing and throwing sounds staying out of sight while leaving for about 200 yards. No full animal was clearly seen.
