Account
The witness was bowhunting and fell asleep against a tree stump. About an hour later they awoke to a crashing noise and heavy breathing described as grunt-like from dense woods an estimated 50 to 100 feet away, along with a dank stench. After sitting still for about ten minutes until it became quiet, the witness packed up and left frightened, uncertain whether the source could have been an elk.
