Grouse twice left on trail for hiker

27 September 2004 4:00 PM Seven Sisters Falls, Manitoba 3 witnesses

Account

On June 5th 2004 the witness was leading a group at a large archaeological site when the witness struck a large branch against a dry pine to try calling a response. No response was heard at the time. About four hundred yards along the exit trail the group found a dead grouse placed in the middle of the trail with wings tucked, still slightly warm, interpreted as a fresh placement similar to an earlier find.
