Possible footprint found and vocalizations heard in the Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area

Account

The witness and a companion were hunting and scouting in a swampy wildlife management area. After hearing something large run off unseen, they found a single fresh human-like barefoot print in mud beside a puddle. They photographed the print and marked the spot, and also noted distant squirrel alarm calls that moved closer then fell silent.
