Account
A party of four hunters was elk hunting when they spotted figures in a distant meadow. Through rifle scopes they watched four large creatures feeding on an elk carcass, three about seven feet tall and one about five feet. Concerned that animals able to kill an elk could threaten them, the group retreated without approaching.
