Class B First-hand BFRO #26196

Possible intimidation experienced by two bow hunters near Cadillac

BFRO YEAR: 2000/01 evening Hoxeyville, Wexford County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were bowhunting deer from separate ground positions near a creek and swamp. The witness heard quiet rustling behind a small hill, then a large tree shook violently and a loud roar/scream sounded. The witness fled to the truck, met waiting officers, and returned with them to retrieve the companion, who had also heard the scream and seen deer flee. The group left the woods together without explanation for the sound.
