Account

While driving to a job in the early morning, the witness and a companion stopped for deer crossing the road. A large hairy figure came to the edge of the pavement, paused briefly, then turned and went back into the woods. Both occupants viewed it from a short distance and discussed matching descriptions on the way to the job.
