Account
The reporter's father was squirrel hunting in deep cover near Patoka Lake when he noticed what looked like legs across a slough by a tree. The figure left on two feet and headed toward the lake after appearing to notice it was observed. The father hurried out and said nothing until he was miles away, then advised returning only with a larger-caliber rifle.
