Class A First-hand BFRO #34043

Observation by a hunter through his scope by the New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville

November 2007 about 2 hrs before dark Fayetteville, Fayette County, West Virginia 1 witness

Account

The witness was deer hunting in the New River Gorge when he noticed movement about 60 yards away. Looking through his rifle scope, he watched a large hand against a poplar tree and then a head with large eyes peering at him for about 20 seconds before it stepped back behind the tree. He did not shoot, heard no sounds of departure, and had to pass near the location to leave the woods.
