Account
While walking slowly on a hiking trail looking for grouse, the witness heard a footfall after stopping, then again after stopping a second time. After hearing a stick break, the witness realized something was flanking and pacing her without being visible. She readied her shotgun and hurried back to camp, stopping to check that it was still pacing her.
