Account

While hunting and hiking back toward their car, the witness and a companion encountered a large dark animal at very close range. The animal ran past them from left to right and downhill into the forest in a matter of seconds. After reaching a road and fence, the pair heard a loud chilling scream. They then ran to their car and left the area.
