Account

Around 1975, the witness and a companion were returning to their vehicle after checking a trap line near Horicon Marsh. From about 80 yards away on a hilltop they heard heavy movement and smelled an overpowering rotten-egg sulphur odor. They felt a fight-or-flight response, left quickly, and stayed away from the trap line for some time.
