October 1981
Myrtle Creek, Douglas County, Oregon

Account
At sixteen the guest went hunting alone behind his home on a large ranch. About twenty yards past a gate he saw movement and watched a tricolored hairy figure hunkered down like a resting rabbit for about two minutes. It then dove into the woods with hands extended and vanished silently, which he rationalized at the time as a giant rabbit.
