Sasquatch sighting in New York (2001)
Account
The guest, hunting during muzzleloader season, walked back toward his truck on family land at dusk and noticed a small ape-like head peering from behind an old skidder. The creature then leapt from behind the skidder over two logs to a tree without bending its knees, stared briefly while bobbing, and hid again when the witness raised his muzzleloader to look through the scope. The witness left for his truck and avoided hunting the area for years.
