Account
The witness was deer hunting alone from an elevated stand on private property in the morning. After noticing a strong bad odor and hearing twigs snapping, the witness watched a large dark creature standing and eating leaves for about five minutes from about 50 yards away, seeing it from the waist up. The witness continued to hear it moving away for several minutes before companions arrived.
