Class A First-hand BFRO #59532

Two coyote hunters have nighttime sighting driving back to the farm near Arley

11 November 2017 11:00 pm Vichy, Maries County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were hunting coyotes at night when one was paralleled in the woods by something that returned his whistles. After reuniting they drove toward the house and illuminated a tall shaggy biped in the field below the barn. They watched it briefly in the headlights before it turned and walked into a cedar thicket while their dog chased it a short way and returned.
