Silhouette near Eugene, Oregon
Account
The guest and four companions were at a gully shooting area on a bright full-moon night. They watched a large dark mass move up the far hillside among young trees, which appeared as only blackness through a rifle scope. They called out, fired shots, left quietly, and later revisited in daylight to estimate the distance.
