Account
At age 13 or 14 the witness was deer hunting with his father on reclaimed coal land. After hearing his father fire three aimed shots, he walked to a holler and heard speech-like chatter, then two quadrupedal hairy animals burst from brush and ran toward him. He fired three times without hitting them, then learned his father had also seen and shot at the same two animals.
