Account
Two people hunting elk with muzzle-loaders waited by a river until near dark and then started hiking out along the river. The person in the lead came face-to-face at very close range with a tall creature with glowing red eyes. The creature turned and left silently within seconds, and the pair waited before hiking out to their truck.
