Class A First-hand BFRO #14457

Daylight sigting by a deer hunter near Gulf Hammock

2000–2001 around 11:00 am Gulf Hammock, Levy County, Florida 1 witness

Account

While hunting deer with dogs, the witness stood alone on a dirt road watching the tree line. A tall gray hair-covered figure crossed the road in two strides and continued without reacting to her presence. She left to find another hunter, and later told camp companions who said it was a swamp monkey.
