Young hunter sees an upright walking animal
Account
The son left a family barbecue to hunt nearby and ran back reporting a tall, dark, hairy biped stepping over a wire fence about 100 yards from camp. Three relatives went to the spot minutes later and found pressed-down grass but no clear prints. They noted a strong pungent odor that lingered, but the creature had left the area.
