Account
The witness was camping alone late at night after hunting, field-dressing a deer, and leaving the entrails away from camp. After hearing footsteps and faint noises to the south, the witness smelled a strong foul odor and walked out with a rifle and spotlight. A big hairy figure stood up, watched the witness briefly, then walked away casually. The witness returned to the tent but left the campsite that night.
