Account

The witness was bowhunting on the morning of October 9, 2014 in rainy and foggy conditions with very limited visibility. He heard and felt three loud impacts just out of sight, described as either rocks striking the ground or something stomping hard enough to feel in his feet. He called out, got no reply and heard nothing moving away, interpreted it as a warning and left.
