Account
The witness and a cousin stopped for lunch in a small clearing while scouting in dense mountain forest. They heard loud snapping and movement circling the clearing, then the cousin fired a handgun into the air. A loud low-to-high roar answered, and repeated yells pursued them as they ran downhill for about a mile without ever seeing the source.
