Account
After leaving his deer stand at dusk, the witness encountered a tall hair-covered figure standing on the trail about 40 to 50 feet away near a deadfall. The figure sniffed the air, stared at him, then took steps toward him before turning off the trail into the woods. The witness backed away and listened as it walked away without crashing through brush.
