Account

The witness returned after being away for a week, parked near the barn late at night, and walked toward the house. From the immediate right the witness heard a hair-raising guttural growl twice and hurried inside to tell family. The next morning the witness called the conservation office, where the person consulted said the described sound was definitely not a bear.
