Hunter gets investigated while in his blind outside Bagdad

20 November 2011 Early morning, before daylight Bagdad, Shelby County, Kentucky 1 witness

Account

The witness settled into a 6-foot ground blind before daylight to deer hunt. Something stepped over a nearby fence and approached with heavy footsteps, then breathed, sniffed and pressed down on the top of the blind. After the witness shouted a warning, the sniffing paused then resumed more aggressively before the visitor circled the blind and left toward the woods without being seen.
