Account

The witness and a companion were riding ATVs to scout for deer when the witness noticed a strong stench in a meadow. They then saw a tall brown ape-like creature on its hind legs with yellow eyes staring at them. As they rode away toward a road, the creature kept pace alongside them for a short distance before disappearing from view.
