Account
The witness was bow hunting and sitting in a parked truck near a road just before dusk. The witness claims four tall, rugged-looking creatures crossed the road about 80 yards ahead and looked toward the truck. After about ten minutes the witness drove down to investigate, found no sign, but noticed a strong rotten carcass-like odor. The witness speculates the creatures took previously shot deer that were never recovered.
