Account
The witness and a friend were deer hunting from a blind at dawn when he spotted a tall dark hairy upright figure beside a tree through his rifle scope. He watched it for several minutes as it held an arm raised and then lowered it. Both teens saw it and left the area, convinced it was not a bear.
