Account
The witness and his wife returned early in the morning to a timbered area where they had seen elk the previous afternoon. While walking back toward their truck after watching cattle, both smelled a strong unfamiliar odor described as a mix of skunk, rancid meat, and old basement. No creature was seen. The witness placed himself between his wife and the woods as they left quickly and quietly.
