Account
The witness and a companion were hiking in upland terrain when they separated on opposite sides of a draw. The witness heard a loud crash and rapid thudding sounds, then saw a tall hairy figure running toward the companion from several hundred yards away. After shouting warnings and a shotgun shot, the figure reversed direction and left, and both hikers departed quickly.
