Elk hunters have sighting night sighting
Account
Two people in separate pickups were driving down a mountain after scouting for elk after dark in rain. They watched an object on the roadside in their headlights for about 30 seconds before it ran away around a bend. Both described a roughly 6- to 7-foot-tall figure running very fast with long swinging arms and an impressive stride.
