Early morning sighting by resident along Highway 7 near Bismarck
Account
On a clear cool morning the witness stood on his property after hearing dogs bark and watched a large dark hairy animal moving east along a fence row about 50 yards away. He saw only the upper body in left-side view for 2-3 seconds as it trotted briskly without bobbing, comparing its size to a very tall heavy man. He later searched for tracks but found none because the ground was too brushy.
