Partial sighting in Louisiana (1973)
Account
Around age ten the witness was left alone in a deer box stand while adults returned to camp. For up to an hour about 150 yards away small trees swayed and crashed with continuous huffing and puffing, and he glimpsed something big and black between trees. His father later told him it was likely an escaped bison, which the witness accepted as a child but now questions.
