Class B First-hand BFRO #55144

Hunter describes strange encounters and finds a possible footprint near Kickapoo State Park

12 November 2015 around 5pm, almost completely dark Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois 1 witness

Account

The witness was bowhunting deer alone from a tree stand in the evening and shot a buck. While climbing down and tracking the deer in near-dark, the witness heard loud screaming-growling noises, smelled a strong pungent odor, and saw a huge silhouette about 30 yards away on a hillside. The witness left the woods while still hearing the noises and returned the next morning to find the blood trail ended with no deer.
