Hunter recalls incidents near Pecks Lake

BFRO YEAR: 1989 &2005 one hour after dark Evart, Osceola County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

In early November 1989 the witness and a relative returned after dark with a lantern to track a deer shot earlier with a bow. When the blood trail stopped they heard heavy bipedal footsteps pacing, saw a very large dark outline, and heard a guttural warning sound. Feeling threatened, they backed out while the witness held a handgun, and a next-morning search found neither deer nor tracks.
