Hunter describes close encounter outside Doty

11 November 2006 right before dark, then after dark Doty, Lewis County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving slowly while road hunting in a gated clearcut area before dark. A large black figure stood up about 15 feet away on a steep downhill slope, showed agitated movements and cheek puffing, muttered and then screamed before leaving over a stump downhill. About an hour later the witness returned with two companions and all three heard pounding on trees and mumbled vocalizations before leaving.
