Account
Two fishermen hiking toward a small lake near Linton Lake approached what they first thought was a bear feeding in a meadow. The animal stood up and faced them from about 100 feet away. After a standoff in which one man reached for a gun and the other stopped him, the creature slung a deer carcass over its shoulder and walked into the woods while the men fled to their truck.
