Daytime sighting by hunter near Sulphur River.
Account
The witness was hunting from a fenceline seat when cattle on both sides stampeded to the center and then south. He turned and saw a tall black figure walking north along the far fence, stopping twice to look toward him before moving on. His brother arrived about 30 minutes later from a different direction, ruling out the brother as the figure.
