Account

While deer hunting at dusk, the witness shot and field-dressed a deer and then started to leave. An unfamiliar, terrible scream began nearby and continued for about five minutes, getting louder and closer until it seemed to reach the gut pile. From about 200 yards away, the witness hurried out of the woods and now avoids the area.
