Possible daylight stalking and knocking heard by hunter near Deposit

10 October 2005 late afternoon Deposit, Delaware County, New York 1 witness

Account

While scouting alone for deer in late afternoon, the witness heard a loud deep growl from a nearby thicket and later heard heavy movement paralleling his path through brush. He found two live trees bent over a logging road, then heard repeated knocking sounds from the direction of his entry route. While leaving through a creek bottom at dusk, he heard rocks striking and rolling downstream several times before driving out without seeing the source.
