Account
The witness and a companion were driving home from a fishing trip when a deer ran across the road and they stopped. The witness then noticed a large dark animal on the passenger side of the road that stayed motionless for a long time while being observed. It eventually jumped over a guardrail and disappeared down a brushy embankment while continuing to watch them.
