Account
The witness was deer hunting alone, standing on a stump in an old clear-cut for about an hour. He heard a loud swirling whistle and then saw a dark, hair-covered upright figure with wide shoulders on a nearby ridge facing him. He watched it for about five minutes while it stood watching him, then left and it did not follow.
