The witness was walking alone on an ATV trail toward a hunting clearing in early morning darkness. A large upright animal crossed the trail in two strides, then moved quickly downhill as the witness illuminated it with a flashlight for a few seconds. The witness described a tall, muscular, dark-furred animal and then returned to the vehicle and left.
