Account
The witness and a relative were big-game hunting along a gated forest road. After passing bear scat and continuing on, they turned back and found a hairy human-like figure picking at the same scat. The figure stood up and walked across the road toward a creek and into the forest about sixty yards away, leaving the witnesses nervous and uninterested in further hunting.
