Account
On a snowy pre-dawn morning, the witness and his wife returned to his ground blind to look for a deer wounded the prior evening. As snow began, they watched a tall, ape-like, fur-covered biped approach and walk past the blind for about ten minutes before they left quickly through deep snow. The witness estimated its height at 7-8 feet by comparing it to tree limbs relative to his own height.
