Fisherman has a second encounter on a rainy afternoon, as a upright animal moves from a streambed.
Account
The witness was scouting on foot along a creek for slower-water fishing spots when he noticed a dark shape in the distance. He used tree cover to approach to about 75 yards and watched it stand up, turn, and look at him for several seconds. The animal then looked downstream and sprinted into the woods, after which the witness left the area in shock.
