Deer hunter on the Flathead Indian Reservation passes a tall biped on the roadside

16 September 2012 afternoon, after 1 PM but before 3 PM Ronan Mt And Dixon Mt, Flathead County, Montana 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving up a dead-end road in the Mission Mountains while hunting for deer in the afternoon. Near a curve, he saw a tall, dark brown biped standing at the tree line very close to his truck holding a branch. He was frightened and avoided looking directly at it, then drove to the end of the road and descended quickly without seeing it again.
