Hunter in tree stand recalls startling early morning observation near Ft. Bragg

October 1995 sunrise, about 0645-0700 FT. Bragg, Hoke County, North Carolina 1 witness

Account

The witness arrived before dawn to hunt deer from a tree stand on a wooded base. Around sunrise a small black furry animal about three feet tall near the tree stood up on two legs, then dropped to all fours and ran toward cover, disappearing silently. The witness left the area without examining the ground and later interpreted the animal as a young Sasquatch.
