Hunter recalls a possible encounter during deer season near St. Helen
Account
While deer hunting alone in rows of pines, the witness heard loud crashing that approached rather than retreated. After crouching to observe, the witness noticed a strong foul odor and saw a large white furry leg about twenty-five yards away. The witness remained still for about ten minutes until the sounds receded, then returned to the vehicle without mentioning the experience for years.
