Account
A logging crew traveling in a crew wagon encountered a large hair-covered biped standing in the road. The creature looked at them, then walked off on two legs while giving an elk-like scream. After the crew exited the vehicle they noticed a strong sweaty odor and heard it crashing through brush into dense forest. They radioed a supervisor about law enforcement follow-up, but no one arrived.
