Deer hunter has a late afternoon sighting through his rifle scope in the Winona Wildlife Management Area
Account
The witness was deer hunting from an elevated stand near a pond late in the day. They spotted an upright, hair-covered figure by a cedar tree and watched it through a rifle scope for under a minute. After the witness disengaged the gun's safety, the figure grunted and fled into brush. The witness later found hair on a broken limb and thumb-like marks and scratches on bark where the figure had been.
