Class A First-hand BFRO #13049

Daylight sighting by squirrel hunter near Spring Valley

8 October 2005 Around noon Spring Valley, Fillmore County, Minnesota 1 witness

Account

The witness left his truck to hunt squirrels and noticed movement about 175 feet away through brush, fence and creek. What first looked like a large flapping turkey stood up on two legs and ran very fast and quietly, followed by a larger reddish animal that briefly stumbled then sprinted after it into thick brush toward the swamp. The witness crossed to the spot, found only soft indentations, followed briefly toward the swamp, then left after becoming frightened that the animals might have circled behind him.
