Account
The witness was archery hunting with a group near Elk Valley and walked into a clearing expected to lead to ponds. From about 100 yards away the witness saw three erect dark-brown figures walking quickly in height order toward timber, with the leader gesturing for the smallest to hurry. The figures disappeared into the timber, and the witness did not investigate but later learned a companion nearby had seen the same thing.
