Creature observed by hunters
Account
While hunting with a companion, the witness smelled a strong animal odor and saw a large hairy figure crouching near a swamp. The figure stood to full height and was watched for several minutes, reacting nervously to movement and making vocal sounds. The pair fired into the road to scare it, and the creature then fled into the timber.
