Rocks thrown, witness shoots at creature

Account

The witness was checking the water level in a creek when something threw a rock at them. The witness fired a shotgun toward it and heard it run away, then noted a blood trail and very large humanoid-like tracks. After leaving to tell neighbors, the witness returned to find the footprints gone but a small amount of blood remaining on a leaf.
