Class B First-hand BFRO #26939

Bow hunter has possible encounter while in his tree stand near LaPorte

8 October 2008 between 6pm and 7pm Mill Creek, La Porte County, Indiana 1 witness

Account

The witness was deer hunting from a tree stand in the evening when two does fled past appearing nervous. He then smelled a strong foul odor, a log was thrown against the base of his tree, and something moved away through thick brush without being clearly seen. A loud scream was heard shortly afterward from the far end of the woods, after which he remained in the stand for about an hour before leaving.
