Account
A bow hunter waiting in a deer stand at sunrise heard something approach and saw a non-deer face staring up at him from all fours. He drew his bow but did not shoot, and the animal walked slowly away on all fours. When he later climbed down he found the bottom eight feet of his ladder crushed like an accordion.
